    Anyone know if my partner can claim rent relief.
    We,re not married but live together and the house and mortgage is in my name.
    Could do with a little extra cash because she,s only working part time 20hrs a week and getting paid less than €190 a week and she cant claim anything from the welfare because she works five 4hr shifts.
    Thanks in advance.

    It a credit against PAYE Paid.

    At part time earnings probably no PAYE paid.

    And it's the Rent tax credit- rent a room relief refers to someone who has a live in tenant and can receive a certain amount of rent tax free.

    Also- for them to claim it you would have to declare rental income and pay tax on it.

    I thought you only pay tax on rental income if its more than €10,000??
