... since this is the first year of this rule no clear precedent has been established. in the event that they can't, a phone call to their local tax office explaining situation might be the only option.
agreed, but if you go on the advice from your tax office on the first year a rule is in place (and which hadn't been communicated effectively) you would have a defence.
The revenue then claimed that I could not deduct the interest!!
Agreed but it is also well known that badly drafted and ill-thought out tax legislation can lead to all sorts of anomalies.i would have thought that the purpose of the requirement was to ensure that all landlords started to register their properties with the prtb, rather than a revenue generating exercise from unsuspecting landlords in year one.
To those of you who think I'm incompetant filling out forms, it's more complicated for me as I'm not in Ireland and I can't do my normal double checking.
Thanks for that you're making me feel better, I try to prefill out the form as much as I can and then send it to someone else who has to leave it with the tenant, I highlight all the bits to be filled out but somehow something is always missed and it drives me crazy. They sent me back two forms once (I'd written a cheque for the two) because one was incorrect ! So now I've switched to the laser card. The two forms were each stamped twice with different dates of 3 weeks apart and then inked out ! I did have though one positive experience with the PRTB, there was a detail missing on one form and an efficient civil servant telephoned, problem solved and it took 10 seconds. I still can't get over the shock of the civil servant telephoning. Must have been super intelligent to see my telephone number on the telephone number section of the form.I don't think you should label yourself as incompetent. The registration process is simply too complicated for most people to handle efficiently. People should be able to interact with government and comply with their duties under law without being made to feel that they're dealing with something out of Myles na gCopaleen.
