Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how CGT on property sale is calculated
What is the Irish Capital Gains Tax calculator used for on Irish Tax Hub?
This Irish capital gains tax calculator helps you estimate CGT due when selling property or other assets by inputting purchase price, sale price, fees, dates, and exemption use.
How do I use the CGT calculator for property sales in Ireland?
To use the CGT calculator, enter the purchase price, sale price, purchase and sale dates, acquisition costs, selling fees, and whether you’ve already used up your €1,270 annual CGT exemption.
Can the CGT estimator calculate gains for shares or is it only for property?
The Property Sale CGT Calculator is tailored for property assets. For share disposals, use the separate share sale capital gains calculator on Irish Tax Hub.
What annual exemption does the CGT calculator include for individuals?
The Irish CGT calculator applies the €1,270 annual exemption automatically - if you indicate you haven’t already used it - reducing your taxable gain.
What types of allowable costs and fees can I enter in the CGT calculator?
You can include acquisition expenses (e.g. legal fees, stamp duty), improvement or enhancement costs, and selling fees to reduce the taxable capital gain.
Does the calculator account for CGT payment deadlines and filing requirements in Ireland?
While the calculator focuses on computing the tax liability, Irish CGT must be paid by December 15 (for disposals Jan–Nov) or January 31 of the following year (for December disposals), and the return must be filed by October 31 of the following year.
How does the Irish CGT rate used by the calculator compare with other rates?
The standard CGT rate used is 33% on chargeable gains. Some disposals (e.g. foreign life policies or windfall gains) may be taxed at 40% or more depending on the asset type.
Can the CGT calculator handle multiple disposals in the same tax year?
Yes - if you indicate you’ve already used up your annual exemption for a prior asset disposal, the calculator factors that into your current CGT liability.
Is the CGT estimator suitable for non‑residents disposing of Irish assets?
Yes. Non‑residents disposing of Irish assets (e.g. property or shares in Irish companies) can use the CGT calculator to estimate tax liability subject to Revenue rules.
Does the calculator support scenario planning—e.g. tweaking sale price or costs?
Absolutely. You can adjust inputs like sale proceeds, acquisition costs, dates, and fees to perform scenario planning and see how your CGT liability changes.
