i want to know do i have to pay this tax i being an English resident i have already given you my bank details

Hi
Thanks for your response
Yes you will have to pay capital gains tax as and when this property is sold - which will be a mix of 18% and 28% in the UK, less capital gains tax you suffer in Ireland (so you do not have to suffer tax twice)
Inheritance tax only arises when you pass away and will be considered liable in Ireland as this is where the property is situated ad this will arise no matter how long you have owned part of this farm as your existing ownership will form part of your estate
But for UK purposes - any assets that you have suffered Inheritance tax on will be taken into account in the UK (as per the double taxation agreement the UK has with Ireland for all taxes - and in your case any capital gain position should you sell, or any Inheritance tax position should you retain ownership until you pass away)
Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Thanks
Sam
