Does anyone know for sure if you have to notify revenue if you purchase an ETF ? Some people say you do and others say you just declare when selling or at year 8.

Although if it is purchased through an Irish Investment manager, they are obliged to make returns to Revenue

if you purchased it by buying shares on an exchange, then you are obliged to make a return on Form 11

What about if people bought normal shares ? Does that have to be declared
 
Yes, but only in total. There is no need to notify the individual purchases as there is for ETFs

When/How/Should I notify Revenue of ETF purchases that occurred this year?

thanks , i read that but its not very clear. I still dont understand if im PAYE , do i need to inform revenue when i purchase ETFs

You have two options when calculating the cost used when calculating actual gains and deemed gains - FIFO or average cost

Whichever one you choose the first time you submit the calculation of the gain and tax due, is used for all subsequent filings for that ETF

It is up to you to choose which you use. For tracking gains, I use FIFO as it is simpler to use but then I don't purchase very often

No. But if you have non PAYE income, including dividends, of 5,000 then you'll become a chargeable person.
