Rent Tax Credit

Budget 2023 announced the introduction of a new Rent Tax Credit. This new tax credit will be available for the 2022 to 2025 tax years inclusive.

You will be required to make a claim for this credit. You can claim the credit for the 2022 tax year on your Income Tax Return, available from January 2023. Detailed guidance on setting out the conditions to be met to receive this credit has now been published.

For 2024 and 2025, the maximum value of the Rent Tax Credit is €1,500 per year for jointly assessed married couples or civil partners. The maximum value is €750 in all other cases, including single persons. This is the case no matter how many properties you pay rent for during the year.

Subject to a number of conditions, the Rent Tax Credit may be available where you pay rent for:

your principal private residence
another property you use to facilitate your attendance at work or on an approved course
and
a property used by your child to facilitate their attendance on an approved course.

Once claimants have signed into myAccount, they should:

1) Click on ‘Review your Tax’,
2) Enter the relevant tax year (this will be 2022),
3) Click on ‘request’,
4) Scroll down to ‘complete your Income Tax Return’,
5) Click on ‘Rent Tax Credit’, and
6) Work through the claim process as shown in the step-by-step guidance
contained on the following pages.

Claimants must first indicate if he or she is claiming the credit in respect of rent he or she has paid for a property which was used by him or herself or his or her child.

The claimant will be asked to confirm that he or she is not a supported tenant and that the landlord is not of a type which is outside the scope of the rent tax credit.

The claimant will then be asked to provide the PPS number of the tenant, either his or her own or his or her child’s, and asked to confirm if the tenancy has been registered with the RTB

Where the tenancy is registered with the RTB, the claimant will be asked to provide the RTB registration number assigned to the tenancy. As noted above, the RTB writes to all tenants who have been named on a tenancy registration with this number.

RTB Check The Register

https://www.rtb.ie/check/index.html

If the tenancy is not registered with the RTB, the claimant will be asked if the rental arrangement is a rent-a-room or similar type arrangement.

As outlined above, only certain tenancy types are required to be registered with the RTB, however the rent tax credit is not restricted to such tenancies, and the credit is available in respect of some tenancy types which are exempt from that registration requirement.

However, if the tenancy is of a type which is required to be RTB registered but the landlord has not complied with that obligation, the claimant will not be eligible to claim the rent tax credit. Therefore, if the tenancy has not been registered with the RTB but does not qualify from a registration exemption, the claimant will not be able to proceed with his or her claim.

The claimant will then be asked about the duration of his or her rental arrangement.

The claimant will then be asked to provide the address (including Eircode) and LPT reference number for the property.

The next screen will ask the claimant to provide the details relating to the landlord or property agent acting on the landlord’s behalf if the claimant has been dealing with that agent rather than the landlord directly.

Finally, claimants will be asked to provide the name of the person they made the rental payment to, together with the amount they paid. The system will then

calculate the credit due.

Mortgage Interest Tax Credit

The Mortgage Interest Tax Credit (MITC) was announced by the Minister for Finance in Budget 2023. Broadly, the new tax credit is a one-year tax credit for taxpayers who have made mortgage interest payments in respect of a qualifying loan for a principal private residence, where a number of conditions are satisfied.

The relief is available to taxpayers with mortgage balances of between €80,000 and €500,000 as of 31 December 2022. The credit is available in respect of the 2023 tax year only and is based on the increase in interest paid in 2023 over interest paid in 2022. The increase will, subject to a cap of €6,250, qualify for relief at the standard rate of Income Tax (20%). Thus, this equates to a maximum tax credit of €1,250 per property. Only one credit is available per property.

Claim Conditions:

An individual is eligible to claim MITC for the 2023 tax year if he or she:

Paid interest on a qualifying loan in the years 2022 and 2023,
The interest on the qualifying loan increased from 2022 to 2023,
The outstanding mortgage balance on 31 December 2022 was between
€80,000 and €500,000,
The property (situated in the State) was his or her principal private residence, and,
Local Property Tax obligations in respect of that property are satisfied.

Supporting Documents

In order to claim the MITC for the 2023 tax year, the individual must file an Income Tax Return. It is anticipated that the Income Tax Return to facilitate the MITC claim will be available from late January 2024. In order to claim the MITC the claimant must submit the following documents at the time the claim is made:
