Yes. First-time buyers pay the same stamp duty rates as all other buyers: 1% on the first €1,000,000 and 2% above that. However, first-time buyers can claim the Help to Buy scheme (up to €35,000 income tax refund) to help cover these costs.
Stamp duty is paid on the closing date of the property purchase. Your solicitor collects it and pays it to Revenue on your behalf. It must be available as cash on the day.
No. Stamp duty cannot be included in your mortgage. It must be paid separately, in cash, on closing day. Budget for it alongside your deposit, legal fees, and survey costs.
