About RentCreditIreland.ie

Who we are

RentCreditIreland.ie is published and maintained by D'Emilia Accounting, an Irish accounting and tax advisory firm founded by Vitor Alves and Marina Luna d'Emilia. We specialise in helping immigrants, self-employed workers and small businesses in Ireland navigate the Irish tax system.

This site exists because we regularly encounter clients who have been renting in Ireland for years without ever claiming the Rent Tax Credit. The credit is straightforward to claim, but many private tenants simply don't know it exists, or aren't sure they qualify.

Why this site

We built RentCreditIreland.ie to give private renters a clear, accurate and up-to-date reference for the Rent Tax Credit — eligibility rules, current rates, how to claim, and answers to common questions.

The information is based on official Revenue guidance and is reviewed whenever the rules change (typically after each Budget). We link directly to Revenue.ie and Citizens Information so readers can verify everything for themselves.
