    Hi

    I'm wondering what the tax rates on rental income is in Ireland? Is it essentially added onto your personal income less the mortgage and other deductables?

    I don't have a property, but I would like to down the line.

    Is there any formulas/calculators for this?

    Added to other income and taxed as usual. Also, full mortgage isn’t deductible, a % of mortgage interest is.

    It's 100% of mortgage interest at the moment but that could change. In England I believe it's gone entirely.

    Can a first time buyer claiming HTB scheme avail the "rent a room" relief too as long as the income is below 14k per year?

    Never heard of a restriction on this for HTB. You could call email Revenue for a view to be sure.

    I think there is a clause in HTB wherein the owner cannot rent the place to anyone else. I am not sure if renting a room is allowed though

    Nothing stopping you renting out a room and availing of rent a room tax relief HTB or not.

    Sublet restrictions of the whole house would be a normal clause of any lease, but renting a room would be ok I would think.
