Has stamp duty gone down on properties since yesterday's Budget?

[Admin]

Hi Ellen

The only change to stamp duty in this years budget was Commercial stamp duty which was reduced from 9% to 6%.

The current rates of stamp duty on private property are as follows:

First time buyers are exempt from stamp duty.

Houses with a value of less than €1 million will be subject to stamp duty of
7 %, with no tax payable on the first €125,000.

Houses valued in excess of €1 million will pay at a higher rate of 9% on the portion of the price, which is in excess of that figure.
