I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that 2011 is the most recent year for which final information is available on the numbers of taxpayers availing of the rent tax credit mentioned by the Deputy. It is expected that 2012 information will be available later this year. There are 179,600 availing of the credit for the income tax year 2011.A married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit.
