Tax query
To the tax experts
How much income tax would someone pay on an annual income of €17.5 k, made up of state and occupational pensions and some savings interest?

Re: Tax query
Depending on the split between savings income (which is taxed at a lower rate) and assuming you are over 65, the worse case is €2172 a year tax.
If the occupational pension was in the form of a money purchase annuity then the tax could be less.

Tax relief on new mortgages was abolished from January 1st 2013.
Existing mortgages continue to get relief. The relief is very generous as you can claim both interest and capital repayments up to a maximum of €9040 in the tax year and the relief is 15% making a maximum deduction from your tax bill of €1356.

Re: Tax query
So if you rent your house privately then you get no tax relief, but if you rent from the bank (a mortgage in other words) then you do get tax relief.
Is that about the sum of it?

No, you can claim tax relief if you rent a property.
You can claim 10.05% of the rental costs subject to a maximum of €9040 (ie €908) if your taxable income is less than €17707.
If it is between €17707 and €24107 the maximum is on a sliding scale and if your income is more than €24107 you get nothing.
It only applies if the house you are renting is your habitual residence.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people know this!
