Can anyone tell me if its necessary to register for income tax if you are in receipt of rental income and are a PAYE worker. Last year I just submitted a form 12 with all the details. They sent me the balancing statement and all seemed ok. Now the revenue are telling me I must register for Income Tax and use a Form 11 to complete my returns.
What happened was when the tennants applied for rent relief, my partner gave his RSI number on the form, and the revenue automatically registered him for Income Tax. In october last year I did both our returns seperately using form 12's. I got a balancing statement showing I owed a small amount but they would not be collecting it. He got a bill for a small amount saying it should be paid.
He wrote to them explaining the situation and querying why our submissions were treated differently. They sent a letter back saying I too must register and send in a form 11 next year.
I thought that you just needed to send in the form 12 and that would be that?
Anyone throw any light on this?
Thanks,
Ger.
