RENT A ROOM RELIEF NOT APPLICABLE TO AIRBNB

Income arising to an individual in respect of the letting, for residential purposes, of a room or rooms in his/her home, including income arising from the provision of meals or other services supplied in connection with the letting, is exempt from income tax, PRSI and USC where the income is below€12,000. Revenue has clarified however that, income from the provision of accommodation to occasional visitors for short periods does not qualify for the relief as, the visitors use the accommodation as guest accommodation rather than for residential purposes.
