Hi,

I’m in the middle of the non-resident CGT review following sale of a property in Ireland. Everything is submitted and I understand revenue have 35 business days to assess the information (there should be no problems) but the 35 days is a problem for me. Is there is any experience as to how long it is likely to take or is it a day 34 kind of thing?
 
Any use?

It can be cleared in a day or two IF you submit a comprehensive and crystal clear application AND you're sufficiently lucky that someone looks at it that quickly.

The former is within your control, the latter unfortunately isn't.
 
It took almost a month to get the clearance, though it shouldn’t have taken that long - it only took revenue around two weeks to look at the material.

Unfortunately the first time revenue looked at it they decided something was missing and sent my solicitor a question. My solicitor never saw it. I ended up calling and politely asking about it, where one of the very friendly revenue folk told me about the question. I clarified it was in the submitted documents and he was surprised that the question was raised - he cleared it that afternoon.
