Thanks, my sister is renting my house. I often return and stay at this address and have a room in the house that's not used by anyone bar me. Would it be possible to declare my sister as a rent a room.Yes you are.
The rent you receive is taxable income, the rent you pay is not a deductible expense.

Sole or main residence
Your main residence is your home for most of the year and where friends would expect to find you. You do not have to own the property to claim relief.
I would be stunned if Revenue agreed with you.I am not a tax expert, but it would be my view that the above would be sufficent to meet the rent-a-room requirements
He said "county"The OP works in another country
An actual tax expert might disagree with you.I am not a tax expert, but it would be my view that the above would be sufficent to meet the rent-a-room requirements.
Ooops! It probably doesn't change the substantive point though - the house is pretty clearly not his sole or main residence.He said "county"
Except she's paying him rent.Sister has legal status of guest not tenant.
The test is whether the house is the person’s sole or main residence for most of the year and where his friends would expect to find him.The home he owns is still his primary residence. Property is occupied on a sharing arrangement. Sister has legal status of guest not tenant

Differing opinions were already expressed; transposing that opinion to a charge of "recklessness" is what I object to.Hi Thirsty
This is askaboutmoney.com
We do try to get stuff right and where it's wrong or misleading, to correct it as quickly as possible, as Sarenco has done.
