Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how CGT on share sales is calculated
What is the Share Sale CGT calculator and how do I calculate capital gains tax on shares in Ireland?
Use the Irish Share Sale CGT calculator to estimate your tax on profits from selling shares - enter your cost basis, sale price, number of shares, and apply the €1,270 annual CGT exemption to find your estimated Irish capital gains tax.
How do I input cost basis and sale price in the Share Sale capital gains calculator?
You simply enter the original share purchase price (cost basis) and the current sale price per share into the calculator. Multiply by the number of shares sold to determine your total capital gain subject to CGT.
Does the calculator apply the €1,270 annual exemption for share sales in Ireland?
Yes - when using the Share Sale CGT calculator, tick that you haven’t used your annual CGT exemption, and the system will deduct €1,270 from your computed gain before applying the 33% CGT rate.
What CGT rate does the share sale calculator use for Irish capital gains?
The calculator defaults to the standard Irish CGT rate of 33% on share sale gains.
Can I include multiple share disposals in the CGT calculator if I sold different share parcels in the same tax year?
Yes - tick the box indicating a previous share disposal in the same year. The calculator will consider your used exemption and aggregate gains for accurate CGT calculation.
Is the calculator accurate for tax planning when selling shares in unlisted or private companies?
Absolutely. Whether you're disposing of listed shares or private shareholdings, the Share Sale CGT calculator in Ireland computes your chargeable gains, annual exemption usage, and resulting CGT liability.
How does the share sale CGT calculator help me estimate CGT liabilities for Irish-resident versus non-resident sellers?
Whether you are resident or non-resident, if your share disposal is chargeable in Ireland, the calculator helps you estimate Irish CGT by considering gain, exemption, and 33% rate, aligned with Revenue rules.
Can I model different share sale scenarios using the calculator for tax planning?
Yes - the Share Sale CGT calculator allows you to adjust cost basis, sale price, number of shares, and exemption usage to run tax planning scenarios and forecast how CGT liability changes under different circumstances.
What documentation do I need to accurately use the share sale CGT calculator?
To use the calculator effectively, have records of the purchase price, acquisition fees, number of shares, and sale price along with dates. This ensures accurate capital gain calculation and proper application of the annual exemption.
Does the Share Sale CGT calculator include reliefs or losses from share disposals?
The primary focus is on gains calculation using cost basis, sale proceeds, exemption, and 33% rate. The tool does not currently model specific reliefs beyond the exemption - capital losses need separate tracking and declaration per Ireland’s offset rules.
