We rent an apartment from property Agent. However, landlord did not supply PPS number. We want to apply 'Rent relife'.

We only have the contract, the name of landlord and his address. Can we apply relief with these information, do not have PPS number of landlord.

Many Thanks
 
Definitely you can apply and you most definitely do qualify for it. If the landlord simply forgot to give his PPS number, thats no problem. If he is withholding it, the Revenue will be very interested in him!!

For 2008 max tax relief of :-

under age 55
single 2,000
married/widowed 4,000
over age 55
single 4,000
married/widowed 8,000

all at 20%. So for a single under 55 the 2,000 is worth 400 in tax
 
If you were renting a room for 3 years without claiming rent relief and you then move out, can you still back-claim the rent relief from last place?

under the 4 year rule you can submit returns/claims for reliefs up to 4 back years, so in 2008 you can do 2004-2007 back claims.
