Who is considered a non-resident landlord?
If you live outside Ireland (including in Northern Ireland) and you are earning income from a property in Ireland, you will be considered a non-resident landlord.
Non-resident landlords must declare any Irish rental property income to Revenue via an annual tax return Form 11. Where the property is jointly owned, both spouses should file separate tax returns and report their part of the rent separately.
Supporting non-resident landlords
We understand Irish tax law so you don’t have to. Taxback is an established and trusted industry name in Ireland.
By nominating us as your Irish Rent Collection Agent, you can rest assured your tax obligations are being met in accordance with Revenue. Our tax experts will also guide you through filing your end-of-year self-assessed tax return, ensuring you minimise your tax liability by claiming available expenses and reliefs.

What is a Collection Agent?
A tenant, living in a property that is owned by a non-resident landlord, is obliged to withhold 20% of the gross rental income (before expenses) and pay this to Revenue.
Alternatively, non-resident landlords can choose to appoint an Irish Rent Collection Agent – such as Rentax by Taxback – to manage these responsibilities.
Before July 2023, Collection Agents used to be issued with a separate TRN for the Collection Agent activity. However, from 1 July 2023, every month, Collection Agents must remit 20% of the gross rental income to Revenue on behalf of the non-resident landlords. The non-resident landlord can choose which option they prefer.
How it works
Rentax by Taxback will send you the relevant documentation, you sign it and return it to us, and we will sign with Revenue as the Collection Agent on your behalf.
For 2022 and 2023, we will be issued with a separate TRN number on behalf of the non-resident landlord. If collecting rent, we will keep a portion of this income (this portion will depend on the amount of your annual rental income) for tax-filing preparation. If not collecting rent, the non-resident landlord will be obliged to cover their tax liability in full before Rentax files a tax return.
From 2024 onwards, Rentax will move to the new regime and will start remitting 20% of the gross rent to Revenue on behalf of the non-resident landlord. Rentax may collect either the full rent on behalf of the non-resident landlord or the 20% tax only.
