Bought property between 2012–2014?
The old 7-year CGT relief may still be cutting your tax.
A 2014 purchase sold in 2026 could mean an effective rate of ~13.75% instead of 33%.
The relief fades each year.

CGT isn’t always 33%.
Entrepreneur Relief can reduce it to 10% — if you own 5%, work in the business, and it’s a trading company.
Lifetime cap rises to €1.5m in January.

People think you must live in a house for years to qualify for CGT relief.

If it was truly your home - even briefly - you can still qualify.

Gift shares in a €10m property company?
On paper: €3.3m each to 3 children.

The 10% CGT rate caps at €1m. After that, business exits are hit at 33%.

Don’t let poor planning drain your exits.

Leasing land for solar? If solar panels cover more than 50% of what you sell — CGT retirement relief may not apply.
And if the land is in a company, a share sale could be fully taxable.
Plan for the exit — not just the lease.
