Dwelling House Relief

/in /by

Finance Act 2017 brought some welcome changes to the Capital Acquisitions Tax Dwelling House Relief. Revenue have published an ebrief 023/18 outlining the detail of the changes. The changes confirm that there is no requirement for the house that is gifted to have been the PPR of the person making the gift. This will assist in cases where for example a parent has bought a house for an incapacitated child or where a child buys a house for her parents.

Recent Appeal Commissioners cases

/in /by

There have been a number of recent Appeal Commissioners cases whereby the taxpayers have successfully challenged notices of assessment. In two cases the Appeal Commissioner has ruled that the spouse of the taxpayer is entitled to claim PAYE credit and lower rate tax band on state pension adult allowance payments. Revenue has indicated that they are appealing to the High Court but in the meantime you can make a protective claim for 2013-2016 so that in the event of the taxpayer being successful at the High Court your claim to relief is already registered with Revenue. If this affects you or your clients please contact me.
