Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

This Order declares certain streets or parts of streets in Limerick to be qualifying streets for the purposes of certain tax incentives under the Living Over The Shop Scheme.

Under this scheme, relief is available for expenditure incurred in the qualifying period on the necessary construction, conversion or refurbishment of residential accommodation which is situated over commercial premises in certain buildings which front on to the qualifying streets. The buildings in question must have been in existence on 13 September 2000 or, in certain cases, may be buildings which replace such buildings. Relief is also available in respect of expenditure incurred in the qualifying period on the construction or refurbishment of certain commercial premises situated on the ground floor of these buildings, provided that relief is available in respect of at least an equivalent amount of expenditure which has been incurred on the residential element of the existing building or the replacement building.

The incentives, which were introduced in the Finance Act, 2001 , are now contained in Chapters 7 and 11 of Part 10 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 .

Notwithstanding this Order, by virtue of section 372BA(4) of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 , no relief from income tax or corporation tax may be granted under the Living Over The Shop Scheme in respect of the construction, conversion or refurbishment of a building, structure or house which fronts on to a qualifying street unless the relevant local authority, in whose functional area the street is situated, has certified that the construction, conversion or refurbishment is consistent with the aims, objectives and criteria for that scheme.
