Selling House Tax

CGT is technically due on any asset you sell if you make a gain. However, an exemption is provided for your principal private residence. So if it is your home you are selling, and you never rented it out, there is no tax due. Investment properties are charged to CGT, as it is an asset rather than your home.

Don't you know 😉

Joke aside, the capital gain tax is not applicable on your principal private residence. So if you sell your home where you reside, you are fine.

Yes, it still comes into play, but 33% of €0 is €0.

If you sell and make a loss, make sure to do a return of the loss.

In years to come, as long as you keep your returns up to date, you can use that loss as a way of offsetting any future gain.
