Stamp Duty on Second PDH

Can any one tell me what stamp duty is payable on a second PDH as I now have to take a job in Dublin and will not be able to commute so this will legitimately be a second PDH.

Thanks in advance.

It depends on the purchase price.
You can only have one primary dwelling house though.

so does this mean I will pay investor stamp on the purchase?

You will not qualify for First Time Buyer Relief, (I'm assuming you have another house), so unless you buy a newly constructed property where you intend to live as your principal residence, you will pay the same rate as an investor. No difference between the two rates if you don't qualify for FTB or are buying a new house. There is no SD on a new property where it is below 125sqm and is occupied as your residence. A new property above that area has a reduced rate.

For Capital Gains Tax you must nominate one of your properties as your principal residence. That means if you sell a property which is not so nominated you will have to pay CGT, but you will get credit for the number of years to occupied it as your residence.
