No, it's not tax deductable. The only part that is are the refuse charges.

Make sure the management company issue you with a receipt for refuse charges.

Management Charges are an allowable expense against rental income when calculating taxable income for a landlord. If you are renting an apartment, it is the duty of the Landlord to pay the Management Charge, not the tenant. If you are an owner occuppier- the Management Charge is not tax deductable- but a portion of it (approximately 200 Euro) at the marginal rate may be claimed against refuse charges (if the Management Company organises refuse collection in the complex- not all do). So, it may be worth your while to get a note from the Management Company to certify that X amount of your management charge is directly attributal to refuse charges (for a max credit (about 40 Euro) aim for the 200-220 mark).
