We bought a house last year but only realised today that we were still claiming for rent tax credit. I have cancelled this online for 2014 but should I tell the revenue that we bought a house last April and should not have received the rent tax credit for all of 2013? Or should I just leave it off.
 
The tax relief only applied to €2000 of rent in 2013 for a married couple.Had you paid that much rent before you bought?
 
We were renting for four months at 550 a month so just over the 2000 mark. We bought the house in April and moved that month. And we married in August so when we were renting we weren't married.
