For a standard residential home in Galway, stamp duty is generally calculated by applying the current residential rate to the purchase price; the location itself does not usually change the rate. For example, if a €300,000 home were subject to a hypothetical 1% rate, the stamp duty would be €3,000, while the same rate on a €400,000 home would be €4,000. These figures are illustrations only, as rates, rules and any applicable reliefs can change. Check the latest guidance on revenue.ie and ask your solicitor to confirm the amount due for the specific purchase.
