Hi all,
I've bounced off a number of articles including Revenue's to try and calculate but I'm just not 100% sure I'm doing this correctly. Could anyone take a look and see if I'm making a correct calculation please? Or have I made a total mess of it?
I had used articles like this https://www.irishtimes.com/business...-gains-tax-bill-on-selling-property-1.4778630 to assist with the flow of the calculation
My understanding was to
1. Calculate sale - purchase price + expenses to establish net gain
2. If property was home residence for period, calculate portion of gain where it was not as that is the liable portion
3. Finally deduct the allowance to give total liable gain figure and CGT is 33% of that.
