Are revenue and RTB linked?

[Foodie1]

Hi there, a conversation came up tonight between friends about rental of a house.

Landlord is registered with RTB but not declaring income to revenue. Are the two departments linked or can he keep it quite without anyone finding out??

Tell your friend they need to get their house in order...:

They are on a path to trouble.

I see that they can share info but wonder in reality does it actually happen if not alerted by unhappy tenant. He has been registered a few years now but not been contacted as yet.

Try this then:

Be under no illusion, it's a question of when, not if.

Unpaid tax accumulates interest at 8% per annum and if a person approaches Revenue they can mitigate their penalties to 5%-10%, rather than potentially 30%-100% if Revenue come knocking.

A friend of mine is on sick pay but also on illness benefit. Sick pIck through paye. He had already declared the illness benefit in his annual return but got a letter a few months later from the Revenue which could be paraphrased as “ah hah we got you!” When he told them that he declared it, response there was none!
