Help To Buy
Help-To-Buy Scheme (HTB)
The Help to Buy scheme is a government incentive for first-time buyers. It will help you with the deposit you need to purchase a new house or apartment. You must purchase the property to live in as your home.
Where you meet the required conditions, you will receive a refund of:
- Irish Income Tax

The refund will be from the four tax years prior to when you make your application. This is an incentive for first-time buyers and will help you with the deposit you need to purchase a new-build worth up to the sum of €500,000. The funds will go towards your deposit, up to a maximum of €30,000, 10% of the purchase price of the home or the amount of income tax you have paid in the four years prior to your application.
