Stamp Duty Rates on Mixed Use Property

 A mixed use property is a property which consists of residential and non-residential property.

​The rate applicable to residential property applies to the residential element and the rate applicable to non-residential property applies to the non-residential element.
If there is a premium on the lease then the rate chargeable is the same as that applicable to residential, non-residential or mixed property, as appropriate.

The rate chargeable on the rent is set out in the table below:

Stamp Duty Rates on Leases

Residential and Non-Residential Property
Rate
Lease for a term not exceeding 35 years or for an indefinite term
1% of the average annual rent
Lease for a term exceeding 35 years but not exceeding 100 years
6% of the average annual rent
Lease for a term exceeding 100 years
12% of the average annual rent

Fixed Stamp Duty Charges and Charges on Counterparts

Fixed Duty
​
The following attract a fixed duty charge of €12.50:
  • a rent review clause in a lease;
  • a lease made subsequently to, and in conformity with, an Agreement for a Lease which has already been stamped;
  • any other type of lease which relates to immovable property (land and buildings) situated in Ireland or to any right over or interest in such property.

Counterparts

Each duplicate (known as a counterpart) of an original instrument chargeable with duty is liable to a fixed duty of €12.50. Where the duty chargeable on the original instrument is less than €12.50 the duty on the counterpart is the same amount as the duty chargeable on the original.
