I have a €5000 relocation allowance and would like to maximise my claim. I pulled the following from the revenue website
"Auctioneer’s and solicitor’s fees and stamp duty
Removal of furniture and effects.
Storage charges.
Insurance of furniture and effects in transit or in storage.
Cleaning stored furniture.
Travelling expenses on removal.
Temporary subsistence allowance (subject tolimits) while looking for accommodation at the new location."
Now I have receipts for approx €2000 from the solicitor, no stamp duty, no removal charges, no storage charges, no insurance on above, no cleaning of above. This leaves me with Traveling expenses & Temprary subsistence. I think 3 round trips of 260 miles at 93 cents a mile is realistic = €725.40
I also rented for a year before I bought a house. I am almost sure I found a PDF on the revenue website stating a resonable claim is 3 months (@ say v €950 per month).
Has anybody made a similar claim & do they think the last 2 items here are allowable?
