Do I still owe tax if my motherâs house sold for less than expected? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. Based on the probate valuation of my late motherâs estate we, her two children and executors, had a small capital acquisitions tax liability. Her house, however, sold for less than anticipated, so the net proceeds of our inheritance ended up being less than the â¬335,000 parent-child inheritance tax threshold in place at the time of her death. We ended up with â¬302,000 net each, rather than the â¬339,000 declared in the statement of affairs submitted to Revenue. Do we still have a tax b
Still paying bank fees? It may be time to switch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it time to break up with your bank? If youâre still paying current account fees in an era of free banking, it might be time to have the talk. Once upon a time, a relationship with a bank was exclusive. Maybe you got together when you were younger, you trusted them with your salary and your savings, maybe you even took out a mortgage together. Your current account did the basics, such as paying the bills, receiving and dispensing cash, and offering access to a bit of foreign currency for you
Iâm transferring a â¬600,000 house to my two sons: How will tax be calculated? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: I want to transfer the title of a house to my two sons as joint owners. The house, which is not the family home, is valued at â¬600,000. One of them has lived there since 2008. He pays utilities, and the property tax, which is in my name, and has contributed â¬60,000 to necessary works. He sublets a room under the ârent a roomâ scheme, so Revenue acknowledges it as his primary residence. Will any of this be considered when calculating his inheritance tax, and how far back will Revenue r
We lived in Spain for five years - will we face tax when we sell our Irish home? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: My husband and I are retired public servants. We became Spanish residents in July 2021 and rented a home there. Our daughter lived in the family home in Ireland, paying â¬500 a month to cover expenses. We reserved the right to reside in the house, paid for utilities and used it over the years, advising Revenue of the arrangement. We have continued to pay income tax on our pensions to Revenue. I declared my State pension to tax authorities in Spain, incurring a small tax liability. I returned
Why now is the time to review your mortgage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have a mortgage, now is a good time to review it. Whether youâre coming off a fixed rate, rolling along on a variable, or maybe youâve been clinging to a tracker, complacency could cost you. In case you missed it, the European Central Bank (ECB) hiked interest rates last week. The move sees its key rate increase by 0.25 percentage points to 2.50 per cent, while the rate off which tracker mortgages are priced has gone up to 2.65 per cent. This follows a previous quarter-point increase
