Thanks a vigintillion guys for a great video. Very informative and very helpful. I have few quick questions and will appreciate if you can please come back to me on them. Question 1): As an owner of the property who is renting a room out and wants to avail the rent-a-room relief, will she be required to upload each month's bank statements where she has received the monthly rent when declaring the rental annual income through the annual tax return online at the end of the year ? Question 2): I didn't understand this bit. Through rent-a-room relief, 14000 euros rental income is tax free in a year. But I am not sure how much tax will the owner needs to pay under below scenario: Karen is a PAYE employee and is married where only she is the one with income. She purchases a house and wants to rent a room out and wants to avail the rent-a-room relief. Let's say she gets a tenant who agrees to pay a monthly rent of 750 euros. As per this figure, the annual gross rental income from the rented room will be 750 * 12 = 9000 euros. Now as per my understanding, she doesn't need to pay any tax on her annual rental income because 9000 euros is less than tax free annual allowance of 14000 euros. However her PAYE gross annual salary is 45,800 euros in 2022 and as she is the only one with income in the married couple, as per tax rate band of 2022, she is taxed @20% on her annual gross salary. Now if we add 9000 euros on top of her annual gross salary, the total sum will become 45,800 + 9000 = 54,800 euros. This figure of 54,800 euros has crossed the threshold of 45,800 euros and hence the balance is going to be charged at 40%. As the balance is of 9000 euros and this is the annual gross rental income figure, it means rental income will be charged at 40% tax and it is equal to = 40% of 9000 = 3600 euros. So does it mean that even though annual gross rental income through rent-a-room relief is tax free up to 14000 euros in a year, Karen will still be required to pay tax of 3600 euros in a year on her annual gross rental income of 9000 euros because her annual gross rental income when added on top of her annual gross salary of 45,800 euros is crossing the threshold and as per the tax rate band of 2022 ,if a person's gross annual income is 45800 euros and that person is married where she is the only one with income, she will be taxed at 20% on her 45,800 and then she will be taxed 40% on the balance. So as the balance is of 9000 euros, she has to pay tax of 40% on 9000 and it is equal to 3600 euros. I thought she has to pay nothing on her rental annual gross income of 9000 euros as it is less than 14000 euros and I was under the impression that as long as annual gross rental income remains below 14000 euros, that rental income is not added on top of annual gross salary in a year and doesn't come under the tax rate band radar. But I will really appreciate to hear from you or anyone here on above example. Question 3): As in the above example of Karen, her annual gross rental income is of 9000 euros and she is a PAYE employee, I have an understanding through your video that she will be required to fill FORM -11 when declaring her annual rental income. It is because although she is a PAYE employee, her NON-PAYE income has exceeded 5000 euros in a year because her annual gross rental income is of 9000 euros. Am I correct in this understanding? Thanks a lot again. Best Regards
Thank you guys, your videos are getting better and better. You give us very clear and concise information, thank you so much. If I may raise a suggestion about real estate investing, please think about a video/series covering REITS, what is it? How it works? How to invest in it from Ireland? REITS taxation, and a comparison about properties/REITS. There are plenty of content that may be interesting for people investing or working towards fire from Ireland. Keep up rocking 👏👏
Really appreciate that feedback, Edson - glad you're enjoying the videos. REIT investing Ireland is a great video suggestion, I've taken note of it and added to the list! Have you dabbled at all yourself? American Tower is a REIT I was looking at recently - it trades directly on NYSE so it's like buying any other stock really. REITs are pretty liquid, which of course makes them a great alternative to actual real estate investing (e.g. buying your own rental property). The capital outlay is of course significant for the latter! Anyway, we can go into more detail in the video when we do it - but thank you for the suggestion! - Ste
Another great video, as always...But please, be aware of the background music volume versus your speaking volume. Also, keep in mind that even though you guys have much less views than famous youtubers who make videos in the same category, the truth is that you guys are far superior. So, do not get demoralized!
Thanks Paulo - we responded to your other comment about this also 👍🏻You’re the first to flag it as an issue, but we appreciate the feedback and noted! Cheers. - Ste
Thanks for the video 👍So if my rental income is 13000 per year and I work full time- the tax I pay for my PAYE income will be paid at a Higher (40%) rate???
Sorry Al - big summer off! You would add your PAYE income + your rental income, and whatever amount you are over the threshold will be taxed at the higher 40% rate (however once you factor in PRSI, USC - it will be closer to 52%!)
Quick suggestion, that would be awesome to have also a video on your channel explaining how to declare complementary income (such as revenue from a blog, a youtube chanel, an online activity that is not a main activity...)
Merci à vous, Laurène! I'm curious how you stumbled upon our channel, are you based in Ireland yourself at the moment or just a general interest? To your second question (& it's a good one), in short, if your income from the steams you suggested (blog, UA-cam, etc.) totals less than €5,000 annually - you would file a Form 12 with revenue. If the income is greater than €5,000, you will need to register as a 'self assessed individual' through ROS on revenue.ie, and file what is called a Form 11. Those additional income streams you mention would fall under 'income' but as they're outside of your regular PAYE earnings, they are self assessed and thus need to be declared by you. Hope this answers your question, or are you asking us to actually show how to submit the forms themselves? Either way, we'd be happy to! - Ste
@@TheLearningsReport I'm based in Ireland (hello from Cork!!) and I found your channel because I made a research with the keywords "cgt in ireland" in UA-cam and I was delighed to find such a great video because I need to file my return very soon and I needed quick clarification.

Tax is a joke in Ireland not worth investing in property too much hassle for the small investor and that’s partly why we have housing problem its truly stupid 😮
Just a quick add to Cian's comment, most W8-BEN forms should be handled by your broker. I know with Revolut (DriveWealth) and Interactive Brokers, you essentially sign the form when you're creating the account. Which broker do you use? I'd suggest checking their Ts&Cs or dropping them a note. - Ste
Hi lads. Really good video. Quick question. When renting out a room at Airbnb, allowable mortgage interest category, is the allowable deduction for the full amount of mortgage interest paid that year? or only a portion? I checked and Im paying around EUR 430 a month on mortgage interest so example from revenue (EUR 600 @ 100%) does not make too much sense to me... Thanks!
Great video. Just one question. I recently sent a spread sheet to an accountant that included my income and expenses. In total my income came to 7377 euro and for expenses i had mortgage interest, mileage, auctioneer fees, electricity while the house was empty during the pandemic, home insurance, medical expenses, floor boards/paint ect. and mortgage protection policy. These expenses all came to 6755, which leaved me with a profit of 620. But the accountant returned to me with a tax liability of a little over 3000. Does this make sense? I was expecting to only be taxed on the 620. Even though the income profit with this rental property is in the 40% tax bracket it still seems a lot.
Hey Joe, Glad you liked the video. Is this your only income? If yes, it seems high but if not it's difficult for us to say whether that is the right amount or not for your situation as rental income tax will be taken in with the rest of your income. In general some expenses can be allowed and some can't be for the calculation. For example, you list medical expenses which would not be allowed. I've linked Revenue's guide on what is allowed or not at the bottom. You will also pay USC and PRSI depending on your tax band too. Could your accountant share more details with you? I think this will be the best way to get clarity on the breakdown. Sharing more guides below: -www.taxback.com/blog/tax-and-irish-rental-income-what-you-need-to-know/ -www.revenue.ie/en/property/rental-income/irish-rental-income/what-expenses-are-allowed.aspx Again, it's difficult for us to know how your tax liability was calculated but let us know if we can clarify anything on some items. - Cian
Yup. Ireland makes it hard for you to profit on rentals. You’re not taxed on your net profit, you’re taxed on gross profit who is before tou pay for thé mortgage and stuff.
I don't think that's correct. You are allowed to deduct certain expenses from your gross rental income and then you would pay the tax on the net income. More information here; www.revenue.ie/en/property/rental-income/irish-rental-income/how-do-you-calculate-your-taxable-income.aspx
How would it be if the house that is for rent is still paying a mortgage is the value of the mortage taxed example renting for 2k mortage is 1500 will that be considered not part of the profits?
lads pls help. im a sole trader. will the rental income be added to my gross or net take home becasue thats a big diff?? im only small business but it seems to me no matter what I still end up paying the higher end??
Sorry for the late response, Sarah - big summer off! Your rental income would be part of your gross pay, so you'd add the rent to whatever your regular source of income is and then calculate taxable amount based off that
Ireland is introducing a new law where you can’t increase rent. Currently you can’t increase by more than 4% every year. My dad used to rent out his property and never raised the rent until the tenant moved out. But these new laws means my dad is renting the property out at half of the surrounding properties prices. And since tax is on gross profit, the tax on this income means he hasn’t been profitable since 2008. He bought it in 2006 lol. But luckily house prices won’t fall for another 50 years
give proper eviction notice to a tenant with a reason that family member will occupy the property. once tenant leave, put a market price and rent to a new tenant. easy peasy.
The original commenter made a point about a ban on rent increases (which as far as we’re aware, is incorrect - there is just a cap on how much you can increase it by). But our point against your comment is a separate issue. Lying to your tenant to get them out so that you can increase the rent, and rent it to someone else, is poor form in our opinion.
Thanks for watching folks. Any questions at all, hit us up below - we'll do our best to help you out!

Should be handled by your broker generally speaking! You may have already sorted it during the sign-up process,. Check the Ts&Cs of your broker, or just contact them to ask about it - it should be relatively straight forward 👍
Seems like this is the reason for no rental housing availability in Dublin
Thanks for the great video. Could do with a more exhaustive and detailed list of expenses allowed to offset against tax. Hard to find one anywhere.
Great video , one question if i get florring done would that be claimed back as capital allowance ?
Thanks a vigintillion guys for a great video. Very informative and very helpful. I have few quick questions and will appreciate if you can please come back to me on them.
