Ever come across CAT in an Irish legal or tax context and wondered what it means? CAT stands for Capital Acquisitions Tax — a tax that may apply when you receive a gift or inheritance in Ireland.

Whether CAT applies, and how much you can receive before tax becomes relevant, can depend on your relationship with the person giving you the gift or leaving you the inheritance.

In simple terms:
Gift or inheritance → Relationship matters → Group Threshold → CAT may apply.

Legal terminology doesn't have to be complicated. Follow Walsh & Partners Solicitors for more legal terms explained in plain English. Which topic should we explain next? Answer in the comment section.

If you've been approached about leasing your land for a renewable energy project, it's natural to wonder whether you'll lose control of your property.

The terms of the agreement will largely determine the extent of the developer’s rights and the protections retained by the landowner. A well-negotiated lease can clearly set out how your land may be used, what the developer can and cannot do, and what happens when the agreement comes to an end.

Before signing an option agreement, agreement for lease, easement, wayleave or lease, obtain independent legal advice and make sure you understand the rights being granted.
