I own a property in a university town which my son lives in. He shares the house with other students who pay rent. As this is a license arrangement it is not registered with the RTB, one of the other students has asked how he can claim the €500 tax credit, he says he needs the RTB registration number.

What can I tell him ?

Thanks for any advice
 
He doesn't need an RTB number.
To claim, he'll be asked if the property is registered with RTB. Select No.
He'll then be asked if it's under a licence agreement, such as Rent a room. Select yes.

Separately, make sure he realises its a tax credit, so only of benefit to him if he actually pays tax. Of course if his parents pay the rent they can claim it.
