    Hi all,

    I'm trying to claim rent relief but my landlord won't disclose his PPS number or address. All I have is his bank account details.

    It's now pretty obvious he's dodging tax.

    Where do I go from here?

    Moonbeam is right.I did this before without having his PPS number and I got my rent relief. Im not sure if the Revenue actually chase up landlords who refuse to provide PPS numbers- anyone know what happens in these cases ?

    The Revenue will store all this information and use it at a later date.
    Non-compliance from landlords is the next Ansbacher case, hundreds of millions to be declared here

    While I agree there is a lot of money to pursue it is personal evasion rather than bank assisted fraud. You would think it would be worth while hiring contract staff to pursue/process evidence of fraud.

    It is very annoying knowing you pay your taxes and are in competition with somebody who is not.

    Is it registered with the PRTB? Did you fill in the PRTB form?

    If you're using ROS, just put in the house address as the landlords address. You don't need the PPS. I was able to claim rent relief that way for a place I was living in 2 years ago and I hadn't got the landlords PPS or home address.

    The Revenue are very efficent at what they do.
    Besides, you issue big threats, declare an amnesty deadline and sit back and watch the money roll in :D
    Only then, does the investigative work begin

    Sorry for going offtopic OP

    You can apply for, and receive, your rental credits without details from your landlord. Revenue aren't going to penalise you for your landlord's errors.

    Furthermore if he's not registered with the PTRB he cannot claim interest relief from the rental income (that's if he has a mortgage registered against the property). There could be a second tax issue there.

    This looks like the best route at the moment. Thanks guys.
