The UK and the US have an estate tax treaty which would govern. It's been about 10 years since I've looked at the treaty, but you should be able to find it online. However, the tax is not assessed on the inheritance, but rather on the estate. In other words, the beneficiary doesn't pay the tax. The personal representative of the estate (executor or administrator) pays the tax and then distributes the property. In some instances, if the executor fails in that duty, the IRS or UK equivalent can follow the property to collect the tax. From memory, the issue depends on the country of citizenship and on residency in which country. I believe that the estate of a UK citizen would pay the UK tax; the estate of a US citizen would pay the US tax. An exception would be with respect to, for example, US assets owned by a UK citizen. The US assets would be subject to the US estate tax. Remember, though, that for a decedent passing away this year, the decedent's estate has a tax credit that pays the tax on the first $2 million in the estate's value.
