Can some one shine some light on it regarding how/when is the relief payed back.
[broken link removed]Hi, yes its the revenue rental tax credit one. She is just unsure of how it works.
Thanks.
As far as I know that is the case - since rent relief is not one of the tax credits that is granted at source (e.g. owner occupier mortgage interest tax relief, private health insurance premium tax relief, SSIA topup and SSIA pension incentive tax credits etc.) only those who actually pay tax can benefit from it.Does that mean that someone who is not working and therefore doesn't have a tax credit certificate can NOT claim rent releif ?

If he has no taxable income then he has no cause to file a Form 12. As far as I know he cannot avail of the rent relief tax credit as he has no taxable income.He never had to deal with Tax as he never had a job in Ireland , he just came few months ago to untertake an unpaid medical training , so he has no tax certificate issued for him before
Do you mean SW Rent Allowance or [broken link removed] or something else?
Can you claim both? Hardly.
If the SW are paying most of your rent, then you would get very little tax relief, as you would be paying very little rent.
Example:
Rent = 120 pw, you pay 13, the SW pay 107.
Assuming you are paying income tax (unlikely), you would be able to get tax relief on the 13 rent you pay per week.
