Hi all,

I'll be doing my late father's (and mother's) tax returns for 2025 soon, through an accountant. I can obviously ask them this question but thought I'd get some info here first.

Can pensioners put any household outgoings against tax payments?

The reason I ask is that he always included an outgoings column when putting together all the figures (pension income etc.) to pass on to his accountant. I had always assumed - and I think he did too - that these were taken into account by Revenue, but I was told recently that this is not the case. I'm not talking about utility bills here; it was things like repairs or replacements (e.g a new boiler).

Thanks
 
Thanks for the replies everyone (no access to the 'thank you' option).
Yes, there was a rental property involved up to a couple of years ago (no longer), so it's all makes sense now why he had that column. I guess he just kept it like that and assumed (like me) that it was still relevant.

I guess he continued with the accountant for convenience. I had just assumed I'd do the same... convenience again.
