Capital gains tax Ireland

    Hi All

    I bought an apartment in 2002 for €270000 approximately If I sell this month for €146000 I will make a capital loss of €124000. I am aware I’m allowed professional fees on sale and I think on purchase. The apartment was rented on a pooled rent system for all the apartments in the complex and I received a net quarterly payment after all expenses that accrued to manage the complex. My query is can I now add those expenses to my capital loss. Thanks in advance to all.

    CGT should not apply here. CGT is tax on a gain/profit when selling an asset. Sale price one bought for vs sale price one sold for....a loss is not subject to CGT.

    Thanks Walshb I should have been clearer I’m seeing can I increase the capital loss so if I make a capital gain on o other asset in the future I could offset this loss against it.

    Moved to a forum that's related to the topic instead.

    Ongoing maintenance/ management expenses on a rental property should have been offset against gross rental income when you completed your income tax return. You should have paid income tax, etc. on the net rent thus you have already had the benefit of these.

    Only money spent on capital enhancements (not including Fixtures, etc. on which allowances were claimed), stamp duty, professional fees on purchase/sale, and similar, should be included in the CGT calc to maximise losses forward.
