Stamp duty on a residential home in Kilkenny generally follows the same national rules as elsewhere in Ireland, rather than a Kilkenny-specific rate. For illustration only, applying a 1% rate would produce €2,500 on a €250,000 home and €4,000 on a €400,000 home; a €1.2 million purchase could involve different rates on the amount above the relevant band. Rates, bands and exemptions can change, and the amount may also depend on the property and buyer’s circumstances, so confirm the calculation with Revenue or your solicitor before completing the purchase.
