544. To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 695 of 29 July 2025, the response to which was an interpretation of the law, to introduce changes in Budget 2026 to exempt individuals from capital gains tax when the family home is subjected to court-mandated delays as part of a divorce settlement, the individual has no control over the timing of the sale, the family home is not used for investment or commercial purposes and who may face a disproportionate tax burden as a result.

The Deputy should note that capital gains tax is kept under regular review through processes such as the Tax Strategy Group with a view to considering proposals at Budget time.

I acknowledge the nature of the issue that the Deputy has raised and the difficulties it can cause, however I have no plans in this year's Budget to exempt such individuals from capital gains tax.
