The standard rates of stamp duty applying on the purchase of a residential property are 1% on values up to €1 million and 2% on values exceeding €1 million.

I am advised by Revenue that there is no currently exemption from stamp duty available on the purchase of a home for a person who is part of any particular ethnic group, including the Traveller ethnic group.
