Claiming back DIRT

[allendog]

As my husband has reached the age of 65 last month (Dec '07), we're looking about the feasibility of applying for repayment of DIRT, using the Revenue Form 54D.
However, among the questions, there's one seeking information about Income from all other sources - e.g. UK Pension, US Pension, Farming, Fees, rents, etc.
If my husband were to declare having received some rent (which had already been declared during Self-Assessment and tax already paid up in the previous year), will he be grilled once again about that?
Don't know if it's worth going through that process, just to recover DIRT amounting to around 60 euros?
Anyone on the forum ever tried claiming repayment of DIRT?
thanks,

If there is nothing untoward I don't see that there is anything to worry about?

You should be able to get the relief at source these days from now on.

If you and your husband's total income for 2007 (including the rent you received) is greater than €38,000, there is no point completing the Form 54D claim for repayment of DIRT, as your income exceeds the threshold and you are not entitled to a refund of DIRT.
