    Hi, We are letting a house and this is our first time doing this. I know we have to pay tax on the rental income that we get, I just do not know how we go about this. The tenancy is registered with PRTB.

    I take it that we have to fill in a form and submit this to revenue or something similar? Can someone point me in the right direction?

    thanks.

    You can do it as part of your annual tax return. You only pay tax on your profit. So deduct all your expenses from the rent and you have your profit.

    and just to clarify Victors statement. Mortgage payments do not count as an expense. Only mortgage interest can be offset as an expense.

    @ 75% rate- soon to be reduced further, with the intention of fully phasing it out by 2014.
