    Can I claim tax credit on rent? Is there a limit or is it just a nominal amount? And if I can claim that, can it all be done through PAYE Anytime?

    It's gone (rent allowance)...

    However if you're still in a tenancy that existed on 7 December 2010, you can still claim it until 2017.

    But for tenancies entered into after 7 December 2010, it's not available.

    Not quite correct. The entitlement to the credit attaches to the person, not the tenancy.

    If you were in a tenancy on 7/12/10 you remain entitled to the relief for any tenancies up to 2017, they don't lose it just because they move to a different property... see below from Revenue's info leaflet:

    Tax years 2011 to 2017 inclusive
    Credit for rent paid will be withdrawn on a phased basis over the next 7 years. To see the maximum amount of the credit that will be due, see Leaflet IT 1.

    The credit for the years 2011 onwards applies to individuals who were renting a propety on 7 December 2010. No credit is due to individuals who began renting after 7 December 2010.
