I'm Irish, If I include irish property in my self administered pension fund I do not pay tax ( CGT) when it's sold - as it's in my pension fund ( Assuming I leave it in the fund)
Someone recently told me the same applies if I buy UK property, but that this is not the case if I buy in Europe.
Can anyone advise on this ?
What countries in Europe recognise Irish pension funds such that the funds will not be subject to CGT ?
 
Hi ya,

I am doing a bit of investigation myself into SSAP's right now.

As far as I am aware, I think it only applies to the UK and Ireland.
Europe is treated differently as far as I can make out.


Just as an aside, how are you finding the SSAP working?

I haven't taken one out, but possibly might in the next couple of months.
