PRTB late registration - Can i deduct interest against rental income??

[485243]

Basically, I didn't register with the PRTB when i started renting property and am only doing so now as i only became aware of the need to do so.. I have the same tenants in place since the start.. What i want to know is can i still deduct mortgage interest payments against rental income for last year when i make my returns. The registration will cover the tenancy for 2007 to present..

AFAIK, you need to have registered before you make your first set of returns, so if you only started to rent in 2007, the returns will be due in Oct 08. So if you register now & pay the late fee (€140) you should be okay.
