Claiming PAYE exemption for renting

WebGeek

I have a new job coming up but it's so far away, I have to rent a flat (as well as keeping my own house). Is there any way to claim relief on such expenses?

it's called rent relief.

It's worth around €400 a year for a single person under 55.

You can get an application from the tax/revenue office. Get it signed up by your landlord and you are good to go. Like the other poster said it is worth about 400 a year.

The link to the application form is in my post.
You don't have to get it signed by your landlord.

If your landlord won't give you their PPS number, just put in their name and address. A number of friends have told me that this works ...
