I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a review for the person for the year 2005 will issue shortly allowing credit for rent paid. As the Revenue Commissioners' records show that no tax was paid, no refund is due for that year.

No credit for rent has been allowed for 2006 as the Revenue Commissioners' records show that mortgage interest relief has been allowed since January 2006. If rent has been paid for 2006 it will be necessary to complete form Rent 1 for that year. The form is available on the Revenue web site www.revenue.ie.
