Tax Returns for Landlords in Ireland
Fixed-fee Form 11 returns for Irish landlords. We claim every allowable expense, file on ROS before the deadline and tell you exactly what to pay.
Who this service is for
- Landlords with one or more residential properties in Ireland
- Accidental landlords renting out a former home
- Owners of holiday lets and short-term lets, including Airbnb
- Couples who own rental property jointly
- People with rental income on top of a PAYE job, who may need to move from Form 12 to Form 11
- Landlords who live abroad, through our non-resident landlord service
What we claim for you
Most landlords who do their own return miss something. We check every allowable cost against your rental income, including:
| Expense | What to know |
|---|---|
| Mortgage interest | Interest on a loan used to buy, improve or repair the property. You must be registered with the RTB. |
| RTB registration fees | Fully deductible each year you pay them. |
| Repairs and maintenance | Painting, fixing boilers, replacing broken items. Improvements go to your CGT base cost instead. |
| Letting and management fees | Agent fees for finding tenants and managing the property. |
| Insurance | Buildings, contents and rent guarantee cover. |
| Wear and tear | 12.5% a year over 8 years for furniture, fittings and appliances. |
| Accountancy fees | The cost of preparing your rental accounts. |
| Service charges and bills you pay | Management company fees, and utilities if they are included in the rent. |
We also check if you qualify for Residential Premises Rental Income Relief, Rent-a-Room relief or relief for pre-letting expenses on a property that was empty. Local Property Tax is not a deductible expense; see why LPT is not deductible. For the full list, read rental income tax deductions and what expenses a landlord can claim.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to file a Form 11 if I only have one rental property?
If your net rental income is over €5,000, or your total non-PAYE income is over €5,000, you must file a Form 11. Below that, PAYE workers can usually declare it on Form 12.
Can I claim mortgage interest on a rental property?
Yes, 100% of the interest, as long as the tenancy is registered with the RTB. Capital repayments are not deductible.
How much tax do landlords pay in Ireland?
Rental profit is added to your other income and taxed at 20% or 40%, plus USC and PRSI. Use our rental income tax calculator for an estimate.
Can you help with an Airbnb or holiday let?
Yes. Short-term lets have their own rules. See Airbnb and short-term let tax.
