Hi

Can anyone recommend any good books on Tax specifically targeting Irish tax.
Shares, Capital Gains Tax, ETFs, Bonds, Stock Splits, etc.
Ideally with examples on how to do filings etc.

A good starting point would be the 2019 Irish tax institute summary of latest tax act. It’s updated annually.

Hi Christoper,
I am excited to inform you that our tax checklists book has arrived!

There has never been a book like this before!

Over the past 7 years, as I answered questions on the taxworld members area, I came to see a pattern: professionals were getting stuck in the same problem areas, over and over, again and again.

Why were professionals getting stuck?

Tax law is complex.

There has never been a "yes/no procedure" for each problem tax area, e.g.:

What can I claim as a business expense?

When do I charge VAT on the sale of a property?

Does my client qualify for CGT retirement relief?

Does my client qualify for CAT agricultural relief?

So I decided to write the book.

It's taken:

Two years.
500 hours of research: each checklist took up to 7 days to develop.
40 years' professional tax experience.
Now it's over to you to make the most of it.

But don't delay!

This book is a unique once-off limited edition. It will not be reprinted and it will not be republished. Only 500 copies have been printed and over 200 have already been sent to customers.

I wonder which checklists he only lately discovered he had been overlooking...

https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/publicans-landlords-and-couriers-among-those-to-feature-on-revenues-tax-defaulters-list-38204834.html

"Tax consultant Alan Moore, of Alan Moore Tax Consultants at Capel Building in Dublin, was hit with a near €51,000 settlement for the under-declaration of income tax and VAT."

All joking aside, it does look like a useful resource / reference for practitioners, but I'm not sure if it's a DIY book for the relative layperson, if that's what the OP is.

I haven’t seen the book, but I notice it’s a once off.

The problem with tax books is that they go out of date very quickly, unless updated each year.

The Finance Act 2020 was signed into law this week I think. If the book doesn’t reflect the contents of the Act it’s out of date already.

That’s where the tax institute book is good - there is a new updated version published each year.

I'm not arguing with you. What you said there illustrates precisely why it's only a useful reference for practitioners, who should have the wherewithal to check whether there's been changes in the legislation relating to a particular checklist (thus rendering it no longer up to date), before using it.

Used this one for a few years, quite good, covers most everything and always follows on with worked examples for a better understanding.

Agreed.

I think it all depends on why one needs a book.

If one is in practice, and has been for a while, then an updated manual should suffice.

If however, as per original question what’s required is a book on how to file returns etc than that’s a different kettle of fish.
