Just wondering could anyone give me some advice! I own a 3bed semi and am thinking of renting the house out for a year or two, I hope to charge 700 or 750 a month, which will just about cover the mortgage, how much tax do I pay on that then? as in how much will I really be left with after the tax man gets his share.
Tax is based on :-
Rental income
Less 75% of mortgage interest ( interest only not overall repayment)
Less allowable expenses, insurance, PRTB, etc.
= Net rental income
That is then charged to tax at your marginal rate + levies/PRSI .
You'd need estimates of the interest & other costs and also your other income ( as this miay bring you into a higher tax bracket ) before anyone could give meaningful estimates.
On AAM there is a page on property investment with most of the expenses you can deduct to arrive at your profit. If you have a look at that you may have a better idea.
if you are renting your home and you are moving abroad to a county with a double taxation agreement with Ireland, e.g. the U.K or Canada,
AND
if the net rental income is your sole income in Ireland and is in the order of €15k to €20k pa
Is your income abroad used to see if you are due to pay tax at the standard or Higher rate of tax etc?
