Hi,

the exemption limit for OVER 65s who are married is €40000.

What is the exemption limit in that year when one of the spouses dies?
 
Once one is over 65 in the year then the Exemption Limit is €40,000. It remains €40,000 for a widowed person in the year of bereavement once either spouse is over 65. ( Section 188 TCA 1997 )
