Frequently asked Questions
What are the current rates of stamp duty?
Stamp duty is payable on the transfer of property. Budget 2011 abolished the First Time Buyer Relief in respect of stamp duty. Stamp Duty on residential purchase is 1% up to a value of €1m. Non-Residential is 2% stamp Duty.
Do I have to pay Local Property Tax (LPT) if I am a First Time Buyer?
When you buy a property a certificate should be furnished confirming LPT has being paid on the property for the forthcoming year.
Non-Principal Private Residence (NPPR)
The Local Government (Charges) Act 2009 introduced a €200 charge for owners of non principal private residences. The charge applies mainly to owners of private rental property and holiday homes. This tax is no longer operable, however it is very important when purchasing a property that a certificate confirming it has being paid/isn’t operable is furnished.
