Mortgage Interest Tax Relief is a tax credit based on the amount of qualifying mortgage interest that you paid in a tax year for your primary home.
In “Budget 2024” a temporary Mortgage Interest Tax Credit was introduced for the 2023 tax year for certain homeowners, this was extended in “Budget 2025” to the 2024 tax year.
Who is the tax credit available to?
The tax credit is available to taxpayers who had an outstanding mortgage balance of between €80,000 and €500,000 on their primary home on 31 December 2022.
The credit is available for the 2023 and 2024 tax years. It is based on the increased interest the taxpayer paid in 2023 and 2024, compared to the interest they paid in 2022.
Am I eligible to receive the tax credit?
To qualify, you must meet certain conditions (this includes complying with your Local Property Tax obligations) and claim the credit in your tax return.
- To claim for 2023, you will need your 2023 mortgage statement (to confirm your mortgage balance on the 31 December 2022) and your 2022 and 2023 Certificates of Interest.
- To claim for 2024, you will need your 2023 mortgage statement (to confirm your mortgage balance on the 31 December 2022) and your 2022 and 2024 Certificates of Interest.
