CGT anti-avoidance measures – guidance updated
Revenue’s Tax and Duty Manuals Part 02-03-01, Part 20-01-14 and Part 42-03-01 have been updated to reflect anti-avoidance measures relating to capital gains tax that were introduced in Finance Act 2015.
The measures were extended in Finance Act 2017 and are intended to prevent arrangements put in place prior to a share disposal to dilute the value that is derived from Irish situated assets such as land and buildings.
