Tax Returns for Landlords – Specialist Landlord Accountants in Offaly
Do you rent out a property? Receive rental income?
Low deposit interest rates means that investing in property is an attractive investment. If you receive income from renting out a property, you need to file a tax return and declare your rental income even if you’re not living in Ireland. There are also other obligations including registering the tenancy with the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
Many landlords decide to prepare their own tax returns, often repeating the same simple mistakes on their tax returns each year, leading to wasted time and in some cases, wasted money due to unclaimed reliefs.
We will file your tax return for a flat annual fee with no hidden costs.
