  1. Re CAT on forestry AG exemption.
    A +B own 160a,20 yr old forest. They may need to sell it
    to pay other taxes.Forest is valued at€750000,current 90% exemption means 75000 in subject to Gift tax @27%
    Would this be correct in current tax yr? Thank you J>J

    1. Hi,

      The sale or disposal of a property should not normally trigger an exposure to C.A.T. or Gift Tax – unless perhaps a clawback of Agricultural or Business relief in the event that assets are disposed of within a set timescale following receipt by gift or inheritance.

      There may be a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability on the sale. Individuals are normally exempt from CGT on growing timber, but there may be a CGT liability on the value of the land.

      Unfortunately I don’t have enough information in relation to this query (e.g. history of the property ownership, detailed past & current valuations etc) to enable me to give you are more specific answer at this point.

      Best regards
      Tommy
