I am advised by Revenue that Principal Private Residence (PPR) relief applies to a gain on the sale of a property which was occupied by the vendor as his/her main residence.
In regard to the specific case, Revenue has already engaged with the person’s tax agent and advised that a claim for PPR relief should be made on the Capital Gains Tax return form (CG1). Once the return is filed the person’s claim will be reviewed in accordance with the standard rules for self-assessment.
Revenue has assured me that once the return is filed the person’s entitlement to PPR relief will be determined as quickly as possible.
