Your personal finance questions answered: My mother owns a house in Ireland with a value of €300,000 which in her will is left to me. However, if she was to gift it to me now while she is alive, is there a time limit of when I would have to pay inheritance tax when she passes away? We visit the house every six to eight weeks and I pay insurance, property tax and the upkeep for the house as I plan to retire there.

On The Money: How would you feel if someone could see into your current account? They would see your salary, any social welfare payments and all of your direct debits. What subscriptions would they see? Would they be surprised at your coffee intake, the number of takeaways you get, or what about your online shopping habits?

Gerard Howlin: At best it is awful nonsense. At worst it attacks a tax base that is already too narrow. Just as our demography is changing, it doubles down on the burden that fewer workers must bear for ever increasing numbers of dependents

Q&A: It seems absolutely incongruous in 2024 that two families are treated differently purely by virtue of one being married and the other not. But unmarried couples are still locked out of inheritance tax exemptions.

David McWilliams: Inheritance is not just a family affair – it’s also a critical societal issue. Should we tax inheritance to make society more equal, levelling the playing field, or is inheritance tax a malevolent posthumous penalty for an individual’s effort?

Eoin Burke-Kennedy: If you’ve ever wondered while standing in Ryanair’s priority boarding queue (first in the terminal, then on the backstairs, then on a bus waiting to be brought to the aircraft) what the hell the airline means by priority, you’re not alone.

Dominic Coyle: Inheritance is always a tricky subject. For most people, the windfall of an inheritance can be very welcome, whether it helps knock a hole in outstanding debt or gives someone the financial wriggle room to do things they might not otherwise have been able to consider. But, by definition, it also comes with a loss – loss of a close family member, relative or friend. In Ireland, in my experience, it is particularly tricky. Though by no means universal, there are many families where older generations seem to feel almost a duty to leave something behind for others even at the cost of their own financial comfort in their later years. We’ve all heard of people who are reluctant to turn on the heat in their own homes in winter but yet leave sums to able family and friends
How does inheritance affect social welfare benefits?
