    If I sell my house, my PPR, and not make any profit or capital gains do I still have to fill in a form to revenue declaring the sale? Or to my local council?

    You solicitor will deal with this.

    There is no tax (other than stamp duty) on you principal private residence, even if you make a profit.

    The buyer pays the stamp duty - Revenue will obtain all the details of the sale from the stamp duty return which is submitted by the purchaser's solicitor. There is no for for a seller to submit, but all details will be given to revenue in the stamp duty return - pps number, sale price, lpt details etc.

    He will get your PPS number and all necessary bank details, also details of every mortgage provider who has an interest in the property. All details of local charges and taxes paid will be looked for. I had to get a declaration from the council that NPPR, a local tax payable on second houses, was not due on my mothers house when I sold it in 2013.

    Basically if you are selling with the aid of a solicitor he will remind you of all your duties taxwise.
