If I setup a sole trader business and I am still working full time for another company(full PAYE), if I have losses in the sole trader business can I claim these off my Paye income for up to 3 years?
 
Hello ,

Under section 381 trading losses in a year can be elected to be set off against all other income.

I’ve not heard specifically of a 3 year rule ( bar investments in certain companies special scheme..)
 
Thanks Mary for reply,
so if simple terms if I have a profit of say €6K on rental income and a loss of €6K on a sole trader business I pay no tax?
 
Well you wouldn’t have to pay income tax.

You most likely would have to pay prsi and usc.
