For an ordinary residential purchase in Meath, stamp duty is generally based on the purchase price and property type, rather than the county, and is paid to Revenue through your solicitor. As an illustration only, if a single residential rate of 1% applied, a €250,000 home would produce €2,500 in stamp duty, while a €400,000 home would produce €4,000. These figures are examples, not a statement of the current law, as rates, bands and reliefs can change. Ask your solicitor to confirm the calculation and check Revenue’s current guidance.
