Hello,first time poster here.
I have been paying 100 Euro a week rent to my brother for the last couple
of years which works out at 5200 per annum.I have never applied for the rent
relief allowance and he has never declared it in an end of year tax return(it is only after reading this forum that I came accross people mentioning tax returns)
Even if the rent my brother receives is half the 10000 Euro max tax free allowance does he still have to declare it at the end of the year.

Also I am currently unemployed receiving Job seekers benefit.I have to change over to the Jobseekers allowance soon.On the application form I have to state the ammount of rent that I am paying and provide proof.I do not have any proof
as I have been paying cash and I do not have a rent book.Has anybody any suggestions.Thanks in advance for any help.
