Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Private Rental Sector: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Allen:

You then have both sides being regulated by one scheme. The Revenue had that in practice a number of years ago. It was abandoned in approximately 2010, though I could be corrected on that. It is a worthwhile initiative. Whether it will stem the crisis we have I do not know, to be honest, because it is a crisis. We all want solutions here. We are not trying to work against one another; we are trying to work collectively. A tax regime that is fair on both sides would be a great help in the market. It is not the final solution because that is really Government policy and the Government deciding how to deal with the crisis. All we can do is look at it from our side and give the committee our view of it.
