Landlords & Property Tax

Rental income is taxable, and the records behind it often aren’t in great shape. We help you sort the income, the expenses and the return, so you declare what you should and claim what you can.

Who this is for

  • Landlords with one property or several
  • Joint owners who aren’t sure how rental income is split for tax
  • People who have started renting out a home, including a former family home
  • Landlords whose records are incomplete or scattered

What we do

  • Work out your taxable rental income for the year
  • Identify the expenses and costs you can usually claim
  • Prepare and file your return
  • Advise on records to keep going forward
  • Talk through tax points if you’re thinking of selling a property

What to have ready

  • Rent received for the year, by property
  • Costs such as repairs, insurance, agent fees and mortgage interest
  • Any tenancy-related correspondence relevant to tax

You don’t need all of this to make an enquiry. Your first message doesn’t ask for a PPS number or financial detail.

Common questions

I’ve rented out a property but never declared it. What should I do?

Don’t panic and don’t ignore it. Contact us. We can look at the position with you and talk through the options for putting it right.

Do I need to keep receipts?

Yes. Good records make the return quicker and protect you if Revenue asks questions. We’ll tell you what’s worth keeping.

Does this cover rental property abroad?

Sometimes. See Irish, UK & Overseas Tax, or ask us.
