Non PPR sold. CGT etc. query

[Hammer]

I purchased an investment property in 2013, and sold it in 2021 making a gain. (it was never my PPR). There was an incentive back then where if you purchased a house and kept it for 7 years before selling, you’d be exempt from CGT.
When the proceeds of a house sale land in your account, does this trigger anything with the Revenue? Apart from having my annual tax returns submitted as normal, Is there anything that should be done to keep the taxman onside?

Many thanks

You had it for 8 years though by the sounds of it.

So 7/8 of any gain is exempt, or break it down by month if it wasn’t exactly 8 years.

CGT is a self assessed tax so it's up to the taxpayer to pay and file in line with the rules. The funds being lodged to your account will not trigger any Revenue curiosity but your bank may ask about it under money laundering legislation.
