If you let residential property, you may be able to claim Residential Premises Rental Income Relief, which is worth up to €1,000 per year. The relief will not be extended beyond 2027, so 2027 is the last tax year you can claim it for. Make sure you claim it for every year you’re entitled to. Taxback will check your eligibility and claim it on your behalf.

File your fully compliant Irish Tax Return with Taxback
Landlord tax return
If you own a rental property in Ireland, you’re legally obliged to file an annual self-assessed tax return with Revenue. Through our Landlord Tax Return Service, you will have access to your own dedicated Account Manager who will support you in filing your tax documents before the deadline. We will check if your tax liability can be reduced and ensure that you are availing of any applicable relief.
If you rent out a room in your own home, or since 27 July 2026 a detached garden unit of 32–45 m², you may qualify for Rent-a-room relief. You can earn up to €14,000 tax-free, rising to €16,000 from 2027.

Four things landlords should know about tax
When to file?
The self-assessed tax return filing deadline is 31 October following the end of the tax year in question. The deadline is extended to mid-November for taxpayers who file and pay online through ROS. For 2025 tax returns, the extended deadline is Wednesday, 18 November 2026.
What to do after you file?
Landlords should keep all relevant documents (such as expense receipts and invoices) for a period of six years after filing. These documents will be needed if you are selected by Revenue for an audit.
What happens if I don’t file?
If you do not file your landlord Income Tax Return, you may incur fines or penalties from Revenue. For this reason, it’s important to pay and file before the deadline.
Who can help me to file?
The Taxback team are ready to help you file your Tax Return. We will answer all of your property tax questions and provide you with a no-obligation quote for our service.
Are you aware of capital allowances for landlords?
Capital allowances are one of the most valuable deductions which are commonly overlooked by landlords. Wear and tear allowances are available for the capital cost of fixtures and fittings (for example, furniture, kitchen appliances, etc) provided to furnish rented residential accommodation. The rate of wear and tear allowances for capital items is 12.5% over 8 years. For example, if you purchase a suite of furniture for €1,000 a capital allowance of €125 per year can be off-set against the rental income for tax purposes for the next 8 years.
