mickeyg said:If I buy a second hand house and I am not a first time buyer for say €400,000 I will pay S.D. at 7.5% of the full amount, right??
No assuming that you are an owner occupier. If you were an investor then you could offset the SD on purchase when calculating your CGT liability on any eventual resale.Is there anything I can offset against this to reduce the S.D.??
