Section 482, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997

Section 482 provides tax relief to the owner/occupier of: an approved building (including surrounding garden), or an approved garden existing independently in respect of expenditure incurred on the repair, maintenance or restoration of the approved building or garden.

Following is a list of: buildings/gardens in the State which, having received determinations from the Office of Public Works/Minister for Arts, Sports & Tourism/Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government/ Minister for Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht, that they are intrinsically of significant horticultural, scientific, historical, architectural or aesthetic interest and which have also received determinations from the Revenue Commissioners that either – reasonable access to the building/garden is afforded to the public, or in the case of certain buildings, that the building is in use as a tourist accommodation facility for at least six months in any calendar year, including at least four months in the period from the 1st May to 30th September.

On the issue of reasonable public access, the Revenue Commissioners must be satisfied that the following minimum requirements are met: access to the whole or substantial part of the building/garden must be available at the same time access is afforded for a period of at least 60 days in any one year including not less than 40 days during the period 1 May – 30 September inclusive of which 10 days are either Saturdays or Sundays.

As part of the 40 day opening requirement, access must be available during all of National Heritage Week (this usually takes place towards the end of August) the daily viewing times must be at least four hours the admission price, if any, must be reasonable so as not to preclude the public from seeking access to the building/garden opening times must be advertised in local or national papers, and a sign must be erected outside the building indicating opening times.

With regard to opening times of buildings/gardens which received Revenue determinations prior to 23 March 2000, the new requirements introduced by Section 49 of the Finance Act, 2000 (that the 40 day minimum access requirement during the period 1 May to 30 September must now include 10 days which are either Saturdays or Sundays) only applies where qualifying expenditure is incurred in chargeable periods beginning on or after 1 October 2000.

Any request for a determination received after 23 March 2000 must comply with the new requirements in full.

This list is updated on a regular basis.
