capital gain in a company

I recently purchased a foreign investment property through my company. If I go on to sell this property what are the tax consequences. Is the CGT rates and rules the same for a company.

Irish CGT will apply as your company is irish resident for tax purposes - irish incorporated and liable to CGT on worldwide gains
The cgt rules and rates are pretty much the same for companies but its the company who pays the cgt - hence the problem with putting property in a company - the net gain is trapped and liable to more tax on extraction
Secondly CGT may also arise in the country that the property is located - however releif may be available under the terms of the double taxation agreement you will need to check that as not all DTA's provide for CGT relief i.e. france!

thanks very much bazermc
