    This is not true.

    If you are paying directly to a landlord who is resident outside of the state then yes you do have to keep 20% back and pay the revenue. This does not apply if you are paying an agent in the state.

    Who will the revenue chase then if you are not keeping 20% to give to them?

    It is the tenants responsibility to pay the tax so it will be the tenant who will be chased.

    Shame! We're very handy for the motorway here which is another plus point for staying :(

    Don't accommodate any more viewing op. If you find the agent is calling unannounced set up an I.P. camera and report them for criminal trespass.

    So the OP could be in trouble then and on the hook for another 20% of the rent?

    That doesnt seem fair.

    Great news on the Revenue side there! :(
    GreenMachine, we won't have any more viewings until we have everything in black and white from the landlord.
    There will be no agents calling unannounced or they will find themselves faced with zero viewings. Think the angry mutts would do more good than calling the Gardai.

    I Had a look there as I'm in a similar situation. I down loaded a doc off revenue that says you as tenant may not be aware of this rule and if that is the case all you will have to do is supply the LL details to revenue whom will then chase the LL for the tax due. I'll try and find it.

    Here is the doc, http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/foi/s16/income-tax-capital-gains-tax-corporation-tax/part-45/45-01-04.pdf?download=true

    So at least that is one worry off your head.

    From this doc it looks to me that the onus is on you but you are not the chargeable person and need only do so after being notified by revenue to do so.
