How Property Taxes Work in Ireland
What is stamp duty in Ireland?
Stamp duty is a transaction tax that can apply when you buy property. The amount depends on the purchase type and the rates that apply to the price bands used for the estimate.
What is LPT and how is it paid?
Local Property Tax (LPT) is a self-assessed annual tax based on a valuation band. Payment method and timing can vary, so use this as a planning estimate and confirm your filing and payment approach separately.
What changes your stamp duty outcome?
The biggest drivers are the purchase price, whether the purchase is residential or non-residential, and whether a special scenario (such as bulk buying) applies.
What changes your LPT estimate?
Your valuation band (based on the value you enter) is the main driver. A local authority adjustment can also change the annual charge within a limited range.

People Also Ask
How is stamp duty calculated in Ireland for residential property (2026 estimate)?
Residential stamp duty is typically calculated in bands. This estimate applies 1% up to €1,000,000 and 2% on the portion above €1,000,000. Your final liability may differ depending on the exact transaction and Revenue guidance.
What is the stamp duty rate above €1,000,000?
For standard residential purchases, this estimate applies a higher rate to the portion of the purchase price above €1,000,000, while the portion below the threshold is charged at the lower rate. Use the breakdown section to see the split for your input.
How is non-residential stamp duty estimated?
Non-residential stamp duty is estimated using a flat rate applied to the full purchase price. The exact classification of a property and the applicable rate can depend on the facts of the transaction.
What does “bulk buying (10+ houses)” mean in this tool?
This tool includes a bulk buying scenario that applies a flat rate to the full purchase price. Whether the bulk buying rate applies depends on the specific conditions of the purchase and should be confirmed separately.
Who pays stamp duty in Ireland, and when is it typically paid?
Stamp duty is generally paid as part of completing a purchase. Timing and responsibility can depend on how the purchase is structured, so treat this as a high-level estimate and confirm the specifics for your transaction.
Is LPT based on purchase price or a valuation band?
LPT is self-assessed using valuation bands. This estimate uses the value you enter as a proxy to place the property into a band and calculate an annual and monthly estimate.
What is the local authority adjustment for LPT?
Local authorities can apply an adjustment (within a limited range) to the base LPT charge. If you enter an adjustment percentage here, the estimate applies it to the base annual LPT for the band.
How do high value property LPT estimates work?
For high value properties, LPT can be estimated using a marginal approach rather than a single band amount. This tool models that behaviour as an estimate based on the value you enter.
Why can my final stamp duty or LPT differ from this estimate?
Real-world liabilities can differ due to valuation reference rules, transaction details, reliefs, and Revenue guidance. Use this tool for planning and treat outputs as an estimate rather than an official figure.
