Is it worth raising rent with tax considerations?

73trix

My relative rents a house which doesn't cover her mortgage fully but at the time she went with the market rent and had 100/month to cover herself. 4 years on and same tenants, she has never rasied the rent as is happy to have secure tenants yet, I think it's well below the market rent by now. For every 100/ month she might raise the rent, is it worth it given the tax due? How could she calculate that? Thanks.

The tax on €100 cannot be more than €52, so she's always going to be at least €48 ahead.

The tax will probably be less than €52 but it all depends on her particular circumstances.

Why should the government get more than you ?

Which is better - 48% of something or 100% of nothing?

Because that's the rate of tax...

Or are you making a moral/ideological argument?
