Collection of Rents for Foreign Landlords

[elta]

I recently moved away from Ireland and have begun renting out my flat. I've been advised that I will need to nominate someone in Ireland to collect the rents on my behalf and deduct 20% before passing them on to me and I can then claim a return at the end of the tax year.

Does anyone know of any companies/firms that offer this service in Ireland? Names and phone numbers would be a big help!

Your tenant can withhold this money for you andf remit it to the Revenue and you claim your credit that way.

It wil also be cheaper for you - no fees - assuming you can trust your tenants !

You don't necessarly have to leave this to the tenant

From [broken link removed] See Revenue Guide to Rental Income

Note: The agent appointed need not be a professional person, i.e., it can be a
family member or other person prepared to take on the responsibility and
undertakes to make annual tax returns and account to Revenue for the tax​

due.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not comfortable with having the tenants look after this and I don't have any personal contacts in Ireland that I would want to look after this.

Any suggestions of companies that may offer this service would be helpful.

I assume that posibly accountants would do this sort of thing??
