€10,001 to €20,000: 1%
€20,001 to €30,000: 2%

€70,001 to €80,000: 5%
Over €80,000: 6%
It should also be noted that in the case of a commercial lease agreement, stamp duty also applies. Your solicitor can advise you on the exact rates applicable in your case.
Budget 2009 also outlined that the time limit for disposal of newly constructed commercial buildings that attract capital allowances is being extended from one to two years.
