Afternoon folks,
First time user of the site so apologies if many of the issues I raise have been covered in other threads.
Some short background on my situation.
My wife and I bought an apartment at the height of the boom in 2007. We have a huge mortgage which we can pay fortunately. It is a 1 bed property so we moved out in August 2011 when I got a new job and we wanted to start a family. We are letting the apartment but the rental income is well short of the mortgage repayments which I make up from my own pocket.
I am on a tracker mortgage so I am saving a good bit over what the standard variable would be. I did not inform my Bank when we moved out and let the property as I suspected this would trigger a release clause from their side and put me onto the standard variable. Of even more potential concern to me is that I am still claiming mortgage interest relief on my mortgage (as far as I know).
October is on the horizon and I am doing up my tax return as I speak. I am a PAYE employee and my rental income for 2011 was only €4k gross so I think I am ok to use form 12 (I could be wrong here though, I am confused as to whether I need to use form 11). I have registered the property with the PRTB (I did this on letting the property and again this year when I got new tenants last month) and I have paid the NPPR.
I have any number of questions but the two that are worrying me most are
If I return a form 11 or 12 will the revenue ask me to pay back all the mortgage interest relief that has reduced my mortgage over the past 12 months (plus penalties?) and will they inform my Bank and cancel the interest relief at source going forward?
and
If the above does happen will my Bank look for me to refund them the additional payments I would have had to make if I had gone back to the standard variable rate in August last year?
I have a good few other questions on actually submitting my tax return itself, but I said I had better deal with the above first. I'm pretty worried about this to be honest so I would appreciate any help/advice on offer.
