If I rent out my home, am I eligible to deduct the interest I pay on the mortgage as an expense, thereby reducing the amount of taxes I owe? In other words, if I receive €1500 in rental income and pay €500 in interest, would I be taxed on €1000 rather than the full €1500?
Thank you in advance.

Yes that is exactly how it would work
100% of the interest is allowed as a deduction since 2019, and the tenancy must be registered with the RTB
