INVESTMENT TAX GUIDE

The Investment Tax Guide 2025, prepared by Goodbody in partnership with Chartered Accountants Ireland, is your go-to resource for a clearer understanding of the tax implications of specific investments.

Now in its fourth iteration, the guide simplifies and addresses complex investment-specific tax questions that we regularly receive from our clients and professional partners in the accountancy, legal and tax space that we work alongside.

What can you expect to find in the guide?

• Foreword by Cróna Clohisey, Director of Advocacy and Voice at Chartered Accountants Ireland

• Overviews by investment vehicles, e.g., bonds, shares, REITs, and so on

• Summary tax tables

• Information on important CGT rules and share identification rules

• Glossary of terms

We have organised the guide by investment type as it will allow you to quickly find the tax information about the investments that you or your clients are currently using, considering purchasing or thinking about selling.
