Hi there,

I've been renting since 2004 and have never claimed rent relief. How many years am i entitled to claim for? Can i go back as far as 2004.

Thanks
 
Yes, I believe you can go back four years so contact Revenue for the applicable forms.

Yes - you can backdate claims for tax credits/reliefs by 4 tax years which means to 2004 if you do this before the end of 2008.
 
I agree with the 2 responses. My sister-in-law did this maybe last month, I’m not sure if that was last August or September. You can go back by 4 years for your rent relief claims. Do an inquiry to the Revenue.
