I have purchased a second house as an investment for 195000 euro. this purchase was made around the October- November period before the new budget. as the old stamp duty rate was 3% for this type of purchase and the new rate is 4% which rate will i be required to pay as revenue have not yet been in touch???

The new rates have not affected landlords
