Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
218. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Finance the cost of the rent-a-room relief scheme after the income limit was increased from €12,000 to €13,750; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10440/16]
View answerThe current annual limit for Rent A Room relief, as provided for in Budget 2015, is €12,000.
I assume the Deputy is enquiring as to how much it would cost to increase this limit to €13,750. On that basis, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that it is tentatively estimated that the cost of such an increase would be approximately €0.4 million.
