Frequently Asked Questions

Does VAT apply to the sale of commercial property in Ireland?

VAT at 23% may apply to commercial property sales in certain circumstances — typically where the property is “new” for VAT purposes (within 5 years of completion) or where the vendor has opted to tax. Your solicitor and accountant should advise before contracts are exchanged.

What stamp duty applies to commercial property in Ireland?

Commercial property is subject to stamp duty at 7.5% of the purchase price, payable by the buyer. This is significantly higher than the residential rate and must be factored into the transaction.

How long does a commercial property sale take in Ireland?

A straightforward commercial sale typically takes 6–12 weeks from exchange to completion. Complex transactions involving existing tenancies, planning issues, or multiple titles can take longer.
