Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2018
205. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Finance the reason an electricity upgrade in relation to a new line and meter box is not covered by the HRI in view of the fact that it is part of home renovations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43376/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Home Renovation Incentive (HRI) provides a tax relief by way of an income tax credit on repair, renovation or improvement works on principal private residences or rental properties carried out by tax compliant contractors.
However, the Deputy's question does not give sufficient information to enable me give a comprehensive reply. Revenue advise me that the individual concerned may provide the full information to it via MyEnquiries, which is an online service that allows customers to securely send correspondence to Revenue. MyEnquiries can be accessed from the Revenue website www.revenue.ie either through myAccount or through ROS (Revenue’s Online Service), depending on whether the claimant is a PAYE taxpayer or a self-employed taxpayer.
I am further advised by Revenue that full details on the operation of the HRI scheme are available on its website at: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/reliefs/hri/index.html.
