Example 2: Purchase price €650,000

Example 3: Purchase price €1,200,000

Purchase Price: €1,200,000

Stamp Duty: €14,000

Calculation: (€1,000,000 Γ— 1%) + ((€1,200,000 – €1,000,000) Γ— 2%) = €10,000 + €4,000 = €14,000

Example 4: Purchase price €1,800,000

Purchase Price: €1,800,000

Stamp Duty: €38,000

Calculation: (€1,000,000 Γ— 1%) + (€500,000 Γ— 2%) + ((€1,800,000 – €1,500,000) Γ— 6%) = €10,000 + €10,000 + €18,000 = €38,000

Example 5: Purchase price €2,500,000

Purchase Price: €2,500,000

Stamp Duty: €80,000

Calculation: (€1,000,000 Γ— 1%) + (€500,000 Γ— 2%) + ((€2,500,000 – €1,500,000) Γ— 6%) = €10,000 + €10,000 + €60,000 = €80,000
