I am seeking legal advice for a CAT/CGT issue and my question is, do I go to a specialised tax solicitor or would any solicitor suffice?

If a tax solicitor is required does anybody know of a good tax solicitor in Dublin 15 or the surrounding areas. Even if somebody could direct me to a website where I could find a list of solicitors that deal with tax issues.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I'm having difficulty locating one.
 

If it's a tax issue I'd suggest what you need is a tax consultant in Dublin 15; if you can find a legal practice which has a tax specialist well and good.

I can only go on my own professional experience of solicitors dealing with tax, and I've seen some messes.
 
I'd go to a tax advisor before a solicitor on a tax issue.

Some are both qualified solicitors and tax advisors. None of the ones I know are anywhere near dublin 15 and all work in tax, not law.

Thanx for the replies.
I have had a consultation with a tax consultant and they suggested to get a solicitor involved. It basically concerns 3 children of a family gifting their share of a house to a fourth, youngest child who cared, long-term for the last remaining parent in the house before the parent died intestate in 2007. The house went through probate, finalising in 2012 and the 3 eldest children had left the home roughly 20 years previously.


There are a few questions that we as a family would like to ask such as;
  • What would the status be with disclaiming an inheritance for the eldest 3 children?
  • What if the house is sold within the 6 years post gifting under the dwelling relief?
  • As all member have to own the house for 3 years prior to gifting a share under the dwelling relief, is the 3 years deemed from time of death or from the finalising of probate in 2012?
I assumed that a tax solicitor would take on the case and find out the best possible way to proceed whereas tax consultants seem not to be offering information but just giving yes/no answers to proposals put across.
 
Sounds like you didn't go to a great tax consultant - your query isn't that complicated. In fact I'm pretty sure I already answered it.
 
That's right you did. It seems everywhere I turn people (the revenue, tax consultant) advise me to get legal advice, which brings me back to my original post. I probably need both, more tax advice from a consultant and then the services of a solicitor. This is why I inquired was any solicitor suitable or capable to deal with tax issues.
 
You will find one but I'd suggest looking further afield than Dublin 15. City Centre may be likely place. I put "tax solicitor" into Google and came up with a few potential candidates. Ensure that the solicitor has a strong tax background as many don't.
