The Help to Buy (HTB) scheme is designed to assist first-time buyers with the deposit required to purchase or self-build a new house or apartment to live in as their home. It is a condition of the scheme that the applicant is compliant with their tax obligations and has Tax Clearance.
I am advised by Revenue that the HTB application concerned is currently pending as the Income Tax Return for 2022, which is one of the years selected on the HTB application, is outstanding for one of the applicants. In addition, the applicant is also required to have Tax Clearance.
The person concerned should make arrangements to file the outstanding return and apply for Tax Clearance online via Revenue’s MyAccount. Once the Statement of Liability for 2022 has issued and Tax Clearance has been granted the applicants may continue with their HTB application via MyAccount.
