Only 31 builders signed up for ‘help to buy’ scheme
The scheme is designed to assist first-time buyers with obtaining the deposit required to purchase or self-build a new house or apartment as their residence.
The incentive provides for a refund of income tax and Deposit Interest Retention Tax (Dirt) paid over the previous four tax years to those first-time buyers. It is up to a maximum amount of €20,000, depending on the value of the property.
