I need some help. My husband and myself bought a house in 2006. We got married in 2013 but we never claimed for trs as we didnt know about it for married couple. I sent a claim through last week. Can anyone tell me if we get a refund as i claimed for last four years..?? Thanks in advance
You would have been entitled to it since 2006 however you may be entitled to a larger band after marriage. Which I think is your point. I'm not sure if your new spouse will qualify as you originally purchased the property as a "single" person. I'm not sure how this interaction goes through on the revenue system although I would imagine it would only be fair. However if he does qualify you will gain a larger band as can be seen in the guidance. I believe it will probably be in the "Non first time buyer" and "Married" category based on the date of purchase. Have a look at the guidance on this page https://www.revenue.ie/en/tax-profe...ains-tax-corporation-tax/part-08/08-03-08.pdf
That guidance also gives a phone number for the TRS section in the CG's office.
You are entitled to TRS from 2006 to the proposed end date of 2020 and you will get a refund of TRS (if you completed the part of the online form for "prior years' claim" giving bank details for the refund to be paid into) - but Revenue only refund 4 years - so you and your husband will only get a refund for 2014-2017 inc.
