Two Irish men have married in Dublin to avoid paying €50,000 inheritance tax on a house.Best friends Matt Murphy and Michael O’Sullivan are both heterosexual, but decided to get married when they discovered how much tax would have to be paid on the house Murphy, 83, intended to leave in his will to O’Sullivan, 58, who is his carer.Same-sex marriage was legalised in Ireland following a referendum in May 2015.

ReplyDeleteThey should have kept it on the down low.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were charged with intent to defraud the government then levied a hefty penalty using the Guardian as proof.
I bet Ireland will wait until the survivor claimed the benefit.
Cheesy journalists, just a damn bunch of busybodies gossiping about other people’s business, just to tell a human interest story.
Sad!
Hrumph!
