Using Capital Allowances to Pay Less Tax

Most property investors in Ireland are leaving thousands of euros on the table.

In this episode of Ask About Wealth, Paul sits down with Philip O’Connor, Managing Director of CA Partners, a specialist in capital allowances for property investors and businesses. Philip reveals how Irish taxpayers, individuals, landlords, and business owners are missing out on legitimate tax relief simply because they don’t know it exists or lack the right expertise to claim it.

✅ Why most accountants don’t identify all the allowances you’re entitled to

✅ How you can retroactively claim allowances for up to 4 years and get cash refunds from Revenue
