Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the Rent Tax Credit?
You're eligible if you pay rent for a property in Ireland and you don't receive housing support like HAP or RAS. Your tenancy should ideally be registered with the RTB, but Revenue may accept other proof.
How much can I claim?
Single people can claim €500/year for 2022-2023 and €1,000/year for 2024-2025. Couples filing jointly can claim double. Maximum total: €3,000 (single) or €6,000 (couple) over 4 years.
Can I backdate my claim?
Yes! You can claim for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. This means you could get up to 4 years of tax credits in one claim.
What if my landlord isn't registered with RTB?
Revenue states you may still be able to claim even if you can't provide the RTB number. Keep other proof like bank statements, lease agreements, or receipts. Learn more →
How long does it take to get my refund?
Once you submit your claim through Revenue's myAccount, refunds typically take 5-10 working days to appear in your bank account. PAYE workers usually receive refunds faster.
Can I claim if I receive HAP?
No, you cannot claim Rent Tax Credit if you receive HAP, RAS, Rent Supplement, or other housing support — even if you pay a top-up. See the difference →
