I would be grateful for any answers to some questions.
I am selling a small portion of my site to a neighbour to give him better access to his garage. We're agreed on a figure 0f 9000. My questions are
What are my tax implications, will I have to pay CGT on this and how much ?
Also I understand if I sold the complete house and site I would not be liable for CGT as its my primary residence, does this apply to the sale of just a portion of the site ?
Thanks for any help you can give me
Under Section 604 TCA 97 A gain accruing to a indivual on the disposal of an interest in a private residence and grounds of up to 1 acre which have being occupied by him/her throughtout the period of ownership as his/hers only or main residence is exempt from CGT
Thanks for that info, sorry for the delay in replying but was away for a few days. Just one question, If I sold this little piece of the site and was exempt from CGT as you say, what would happen say if in a few years I decided to sell my house on its new and marginally smaller site, would I still get relief from CGT ?
if you sold this piece of land you be exempt from cgt provided it met the above criteria, and if you sold your house and smaller bit of land in a few yrs time and if it was still your principle private residence then you still be exempt from cgt due to ppr relief
