Capital Gain Tax
Our tax accountants will work closely with you to optimize Capital Gains tax returns through a variety of reliefs and exemptions, a number of which have been created relatively recently.
The Capital Gains tax is chargeable as a result of gains made from selling or transferring assets, most commonly in the form of the share capital of their business or other significant personal assets (like second homes for example).
However, tax planning is the key to minimising Capital Gains tax. It is well worth discussing your long term plans with our tax team, so you are able to structure your assets in a way which keeps Capital Gains tax to a minimum when the time comes to sell
Rate of Tax
The standard rate is 33% in respect of disposals. The first €1,270 of an individual’s annual chargeable gains, net of allowable losses, are exempt.
Calculating Capitals Gain Tax
Capital Gains Tax is a self- assessment tax. Regardless of whether you are registered for tax purposes you must calculate and pay your tax and file a return of gains and losses without being requested to do so by Revenue.
Capitals Gain Tax Payments and Returns
Your payment for CGT is due before you file your return. For example, if you dispose of an asset between 1 January and 30 November, payment is due by 15 December. Your return will be due by 31 October of the next year.
- 1 January and 30 November (the initial period), you must pay CGT by 15 December of the same year.
- 1 December and 31 December (the later period), you must pay CGT by 31 January of the next year.
- For disposals made under a written contract, the time of disposal is usually the date of the contract.
- If you are considering selling a personal asset or all or part of your business, we can advise you of the tax planning opportunities available to you before you make your disposal, in order to mitigate or reduce potential tax liabilities.
