I am advised by Revenue that the number of taxpayer units availing of the Rent a Room relief scheme, together with the cost of the relief, since 2004, the earliest year available, is published in Revenue's ‘Costs of Tax Expenditures Publication’ which is available on the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/tax-expenditures/costs-expenditures.aspx.

These figures are provided below in tabular form and 2019 is the latest year for which data are available.
