A friend has been informed that when a landlord is non resident that the tenant is now obliged to withhold 20% rent regardless of him having an agent here in Ireland looking after both the management and collection of rent. Is this rule now being changed as well ? It was his accountant that informed him and I assume he is the same one who has done his tax returns for the last 5 years.
You can appoint a collection agent who will be given a second PPS number to be used when dealing with your income tax. This can be a company, individual or even a family member.
