If a daughter inherits her parent's home, is she exempt from Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) when they die if the house value is less than €434k?
To qualify for this CAT exemption(€434k) does she need to have been living with the parents in the house?
All inputs are appreciated.

Yes, assuming there were no other gifts during her lifetime from her parents apart from the annual exemption gift of 3,000

No
 
Remember the budget may change this threshold! It decreased hugely earlier this year by 100k.
 
To asdfg: Thanks a million for your clear feedback. Much appreciated.
To Vanilla: Thanks very much also for that input, I suppose everyone needs to expect a big hit in the next government budgets. The lady in question's dad is still alive and therfore your thoughts are very relevant.
