hello,
i bought a 1/3 share of a house in 2003 off my parents and paid no stamp duty as i was a first time buyer. my parents are now gifting me the remaining 2/3 of the house. Am i now liable for Stamp Duty ? there is no cash exchanging hands at this time as i paid them the full amount in 2003.

Thanks
 
From revenue website:


Whether stamp duty is payable would depend on the value of the house.
 
You may also have a gift tax liability depending on whether you have used your group tax free threshold
There is a an exemption from this tax where the individual is gifted a house that he/she has occupied for the 3 years prior to the gift and the individual did not have an interest in any other property at the date of transfer

Your parents may also have a CGT liability on the deemed diposal of their interest in the property notwithstanding the fact that they will not receive any proceeds
