Rental income

Rental income

Didn't find your answer?

Can any confirm that it is not necessary to register with the Revenue immediately if the additional source of income is from rental income (as is required with self-employment)?

Notify by following 5th October
Under s.7 TMA 1970, you are required to notify chargeability to tax by 6 months after the end of the tax year in which a new source of income first arises, except where it has been taxed under PAYE or is dividends or has been taxed at source (e.g: interest) and is not liable to higher rate tax.

Under Reg.87 Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 2001, there is a requirement to register with the Revenue immediately on becoming liable to pay Class 2 NIC (i.e: on commencing self-employment). Failure to do so within 3 months of the end of the month in which self-employment commences results in a £100 penalty.
