Your Registration is Approaching its Due Date
This is a notification to inform you that our records show that you registered the tenancy on 01-Jan-2022, which commenced on 01-Jan-2022. With the introduction of annual registration, this means that the registration for the abovementioned tenancy is now approaching its due date. If this tenancy is still in place, you are required to register this tenancy again.
The annual registration fee due is € 40.00. Where the tenancy is not registered by 31-Jan-2023, a late fee of €0.00 is applied for each month, or part thereof, that the tenancy registration is deemed to be late. You may receive a fee exemption, if you made a Further Part 4 registration on the same tenancy, prior to 4 April 2022.
I'd be concerned that they would claim not to have received the paperwork or received it late. At least when you pay online you have some record from the payment method to prove you sent €40 to them on such and such a date. It doesn't prove that a particular tenancy was registered/renewed but in my case I only have a single residential tenancy in Ireland so it kind of covers me.Have said it before - print the form and post it. Let them deal with the paperwork if they can't make a system that works properly.
On top of that, it's absolutely crazy that for almost two decades now, a residential landlord's entitlement to claim tax deductions for mortgage interest has been predicated upon compliance with such a dysfunctional system.This whole RTB is GUBU. Why do only landlords have to pay to maintain what is effectively a tenant advocacy organisation anyway? The fees should at least be split 50:50 if they insist on having this QUANGO at all.
I don't have a chequebook! Do they still exist in Ireland? I use my German bank for all my payments and they don't issue chequebooks and haven't done so for at least 20 years if not longer. Cheques aren't covered by SEPA anyway so I doubt a German cheque would even have to be accepted in Ireland. The last time I got an Irish cheque it cost me €11 to lodge it lol. I think the cheque was only for €20 or so!Keep a copy & if it makes you feel better send by recorded delivery; they'll cash your cheque fast enough!
is it only the mortgage interest for which you have to be registered to claim deduction? Can you claim other repair/replacements without being registered? (from a revenue perspective I mean)residential landlord's entitlement to claim tax deductions for mortgage interest
Yep I have one & still use it for items such as this.IDo they still exist in Ireland?
Of course. It's a crazy setup but not that crazy.is it only the mortgage interest for which you have to be registered to claim deduction? Can you claim other repair/replacements without being registered? (from a revenue perspective I mean)
Does the 'of course' refer to Q2?Of course. It's a crazy setup but not that crazy.
