Rent Tax Credit queries we can help with

The Rent Tax Credit is more complicated in practice than the Budget announcement suggested. The questions we receive most often through this site are not about the headline amount — they are about the edge cases: informal arrangements, unregistered landlords, multi-year claims, and situations where the standard Revenue guidance does not clearly apply.

We are happy to answer general questions about whether a particular situation is likely to qualify, what documentation Revenue typically accepts, and how the claiming process works through MyAccount. Send your question to contact@demiliaaccounting.ie and we will give you an honest answer about whether this is something you can handle yourself or whether the situation warrants professional help.

D'Emilia Accounting also takes on formal professional engagements for Rent Tax Credit claims. This is typically appropriate when:

• You need to claim for multiple prior years and want a complete review of your documentation
• Your landlord is unregistered with the RTB and you need guidance on how to document your claim
• Revenue has raised a query about a claim you have already submitted
• Your rental arrangement is informal (renting from a family member, no written lease) and you are unsure whether you qualify
• You have other unclaimed reliefs — medical expenses, flat rate expenses, working from home — that you want reviewed at the same time

Response times

Email queries receive a response within three working days. WhatsApp messages are typically faster during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm Irish time). If you are messaging about a time-sensitive situation — for example, a Revenue query with a response deadline — please say so in your message and we will prioritise.

Professional engagements are arranged by appointment after an initial email exchange to understand your situation. We do not take on clients without first understanding whether we can genuinely help them.

Submitting a correction

The Rent Tax Credit rules have changed significantly since the credit was introduced in 2022, and Revenue's guidance has been updated multiple times. If you have found information on this site that no longer reflects current rules — particularly if you have a reference to the Revenue page or Tax and Duty Manual that contradicts what we have written — please contact us at contact@demiliaaccounting.ie with the subject line: Correction — [page name].

We review all correction submissions carefully. The Rent Tax Credit is an area where the rules genuinely changed year to year, and we are aware that our pages may not always reflect the most recent position immediately after a Budget or Revenue guidance update. Timely corrections from readers help us keep the information current.

Full details of the correction process are on the Corrections Policy page.

General feedback

If a page on this site was unclear, if an example did not match your situation, or if there is a scenario you expected to find covered and did not, we want to know. The Rent Tax Credit affects a large number of renters with a wide range of circumstances, and we cannot anticipate every question without reader feedback.
