Renter's tax credit

It doesn’t seem to be a mandatory field so I’m leaving it blank

You can complete the claim but it wont be processed without the RTB registration:

Had a quick look there and they are looking for a few bits of info

RTB Registration Number

LPT Property ID

PPS/Tax Reference number for Landlord/Agent

Pretty Sure I have the - RTB Number on a letter somewhere. The other 2 I assume the only way to get these is from the LL. Don't particularly want to contact him as He might take the view of upping the rent to as technically I wouldn't be out of pocket then.

Can you leave the LPT and PPS blank?

and this really is the huge problem with this so called rental tax credit- renters in many cases dont have the requisite RTB details and are as usual terrified to contact their landlord in case there is another rent increase in many cases potentially greater than even the value of the "tax credit"..

Its a Tax credit. In other words you can claim back 20% of all rent paid up to a max of €500 refund or €2500 paid rent

So @FionnK86 you paid €8400 rent in 2022 so you can claim the max of €2500 Gross which will give you back 20% - €500 Net

Your Girlfriend can do the same

If for example you had only paid one months rent @€700 each you could only claim back 20% of this - €140

I did the same, the property I am renting is RTB registered but I didn't bother looking for the letter etc.

I just put the name of the landlord and nothing else. If they ask for more details I will provide of course.

I will let you know if they ask for more details.

Received the tax credit without giving any info whatsoever regarding the landlord apart from the name.

System opened for abuse but it isn't my job to judge it.

So do you just get an email confirming this and then the credit lands?

I made a mistake in the gross relief due amount. I provided all other info about the LL and the property including RTB . Would they correct it or should i get in touch ?

Just filled it out there and left the above sections blank

They will not correct it themselves. You have to correct it - they don't know how much rent you paid ;)

I only had the RTB number and submitted that on Tuesday and received rebate this morning. To be honest I either didn't see the LPT bit or ignored it and instantly forgot about it. I did put in letting agent's name though.

Would the the three numbers not be linked on Revenue's system anyway so possible they only need one of them?

You are lucky. I applied mine monday and still no response. Hopefully soon

Only info I entered was address of property, landlords name and address. I know it was def registered with RTB but I couldn't find the number online as it was from last year. Money went into account on Friday.
