Yes. If the property ceases to be your PPR and you rent it out then some or all of the following will apply:will there be any tax implications for renting out my property
Not into trouble but they presumably have rules in place to claw back some of the benefits where people buy as owner occupiers but then rent the property out.or will I get into trouble with the affordable housing scheme?
Should you evade your responsibilities and tax liabilities? Er, no.should I declare this or do people do it all the time without telling anyone.
Regardless of what you think should be the case there are rules governing what actually is the case and these apply to you.The way I see it is it's my apartment and peoples circumstances change without warning, I should be able to rent it out if I want. I will never sell this apartment because as I said it is and in the future will be my home. Thanks
You need to check the affordable housing scheme rules to see what you need to do on that front. Regarding Revenue you need (if applicable) to pay the SD clawback immediately on first renting, register with the PRTB and then do annual returns of rental income. You also need to cancel your owner occupier mortgage interest relief if you rent the property out. Your lender may need to know about the change of use and you will certainly need alternative insurance cover for the rented property as ordinary home insurance will not suffice. The Property Investment FAQ summarises many of the issues that arise from being a landlord. You probably need to get independent, professional advice (e.g. from an accountant) on your tax liabilities and how to deal with them.right so how should I go about making all this above board.
This is irrelevant other than that you can offset interest on the mortgage against rental income. Revenue don't care if you are making a loss otherwise (e.g. mortgage repayments less interest and allowable expenses exceeds rental income).Im not going to be making any profit on the rent as what I will be getting for the rent is what it costs in mortgage repayments. I will not be making money from this move
That too is irrelevant in this specific context I'm afraid.as said I am moving because my circumstances have changed. 75% of my motives for this move is to reduce my carbon fuel immisions as the public transport system is completely inadequate where I live.
is it likely that they will ever find out though if I dont say anything. I mean considering I will not be making a profit etc Im thinking I may just go ahead and do it without saying anything. Is it a very risky thing to do?
Yes - your tenant will probably claim rent relief thus alerting Revenue to your situation as a landlord. If you don't register with the PRTB you are in breach of the law and would not be able to offset mortgage interest and other allowable expenses against rental income. I would imagine that the local authority (?) who oversee the affordable housing scheme could probably find out about the rental situation too if this is relevant to whatever rules govern the scheme.is it likely that they will ever find out though if I dont say anything.
Yes. Risky and dumb.I mean considering I will not be making a profit etc Im thinking I may just go ahead and do it without saying anything. Is it a very risky thing to do?
Sometimes I wonder why some of us bother giving useful advice to people like this...well thanks all for your input, nice to know there are so many squeeky clean people here in Ireland.
All irrelevant to the tax and affordable housing issues.I too am squeeky clean but find myself in this unfortunate position. As said I am living and working in seperate parts, my journey time is at least 3.5 hours a day.
Did you not get legal advice? Did your solicitor not point this stuff out? Did you not read anything that you signed?I have just found out that under the affordable housing scheme you can not rent out your property. I understand they do not want investors taking advantage of the scheme but I also didn't realise that when I was signing I was commiting to staying in the same apartment for the rest of my life.
That you never read the contract details and undestood the implications of the affordable housing scheme? Yes.It seems a bit bizarre that at 27 I should sign for a property that I can not leave!!!! Well I can leave it but at a massive penalty which I can not afford. What am I supposed to do when I get married and have children? It'll be a bit of a squeeze here in this little apartment. I will be forced into selling a home that I put an enourmous amount of effort into getting, I worked and saved for a number of years to get this home. Im single now and it looks as though I'll have to stay single to stay within the affordable housing rules or at least not expand my family as we all wont fit! Does this strike anyone else as odd?!?!
Yawn ZZZzzzzzzz.z.z.z.......Admittedley you do have a self-righteous tone to your responses

If its a 2 bed apartment you could look at renting a room without stamp duty implications and without incurring the wrath of the affordable housing
The room rent you get should hopefully go someway to cover the rent you will incur -if friends and family are in the area then you would probably be coming back at weekends ,evenings anyway, -move into the small room and leave your stuff there -Otherwise sell the place and pay the clawback out of the proceeds-
howitzer as said I am very young and very stupid
