Does income from Foreign Students come under the Rent A Room Scheme?

[G7979]

Quick question,
I have been renting a room in my house for the last 14 months, I have just become aware that I need to fill in a return for the tax office, but since my tenant left I have taken in a foreign language student, (for 3 weeks) does this get declared on the same form under the Rent a Room Scheme or by some other method?
Many Thanks

Hi. The information from Revenue doesn't appear to discriminate in terms of who the income is received from - once the property is in the State and is occupied by you as your principal private residence. I would include this income as part of my rent-a-room disclosure.

See http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/it70.html#section9 for more info.
