Okay. Now do stepfathers.An uncle who happened to live with you isn’t the same as a parent. What do you expect, three bites at the cherry? (the chance to get €335,000 from parents and uncle). Ridiculous.
Dream on.If the marginal income tax rate was 30% or lower I’d be fine with that.
In your scenario you are forcing your view on me I am not forcing mine on you. I am keeping this specifically on the topic of this thread inheritance tax before you take this down a rabbit hole.So everyone should only pay whatever taxes they feel like, according to their personal moral code, is that what you're suggesting?
Eh, stepchildren can avail of the Group A threshold.Okay. Now do stepfathers.
Precisely - which rather punctures your argument hereEh, stepchildren can avail of the Group A threshold.

How does it puncture my argument? There are specific scenarios for adoption, fostering, etc.Precisely - which rather punctures your argument here
But nothing for uncle/aunt niece/nephew relationships.How does it puncture my argument? There are specific scenarios for adoption, fostering, etc.
No, nothing, and rightly so.But nothing for uncle/aunt niece/nephew relationships.
We even had to have the nonsense of some lad marrying his uncle to avoid a big tax hit on the latter's death.
It says a lot to me Gordon about the type of individual you are when you make a comment like this.I can’t comment on what goes on in the border counties late at night

Lots of people have a surprising number of parents for CAT purposes.
Illegal to marry your uncle and many types of other relationships like this. I am sure it is within the remit of both Revenue and the GRO to investigate marriages that are not genuine. And with marriage comes responsibility which we often see played out on the forums here.But nothing for uncle/aunt niece/nephew relationships.

Yes I was thinking of this case. I can't comment in the bona fides of their relationship. But if they were this public I hope it was investigated.Man who married best friend for tax reasons dies
An elderly man who married his long-term friend just over two years ago in order to avoid paying inheritance tax has died.www.rte.ie
I think that it was discussed at the time here, in other forums and in the media and, as far as I recall, nobody such as Revenue poked their noses into their business.Yes I was thinking of this case.

Or they did an assessment and came to the conclusion that the marriage was genuine and the tax exemption stood. Which I would expect to be a private matter between the recipient and Revenue ?I think that it was discussed at the time here, in other forums and in the media and, as far as I recall, nobody such as Revenue poked their noses into their business.
No - I updated my post. Revenue made a public statement on the issue (which surprised me).Or they did an assessment and came to the conclusion that the marriage was genuine and the tax exemption stood. Which I would expect to be a private matter between the recipient and Revenue ?
Sorry I see that now. Neither agency taking responsibility! So Revenue accept a marriage that had been accepted as valid by the GRO/Gardai. A very edge case as well.

I have a vague recollection of there being subsequent similar cases but maybe I'm mistaken?Sorry I see that now. Neither agency taking responsibility!

This was what the Irish Civil Partnership law should about have been all about, same as a French Civil Solidarity Pact. Except the dogooders wanted Marriage, which ended up replacing the ability to have a Civil Partnership.Man who married best friend for tax reasons dies

It costs 200 euro and gives many tax advantages. Def worth doing in some circumstances.I have a vague recollection of there being subsequent similar cases but maybe I'm mistaken?
And then there are probably some people who do this but don't publicise it.
