View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that as this scheme was only introduced in Budget 2012, it is not possible at this time to estimate how many properties will be disposed and be eligible for this scheme or the amount of the resulting chargeable capital gain, if any, that may arise on such disposals. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the likely cost of the exemption.
