Tax due?

Bought a house with my partner 10 years ago. We both live there and I don't own another property. Mortgage in his name only but trust document entitles me to first 50K equity upon sale. Do I pay tax on this?

  • Hi There

    NO as long as this is your main residence there is full capital gains tax exemption, no matter how you split the capital value. If this is your only property and you have lived there there should be no problems at all and no need to report sale to Revenue etc...

    Hope this helps!
