My brother is hoping to buy a second home A rental property. He works in Northern Ireland and lives in south. House will be in Republic. He is hoping to achieve 700 euro/ month rent.
What are tax implications ?
also - I understood he might be able to use this as a pension - avc type investment. Is this possible ?
Your brother should consult an accountant before doing anything. It is possible to buy property through your pension but there a significant number of rules around it.
As he already owns a property in Ireland he is probably better off investing in other asset classes as part of his pension
