The law raises the income limits of the rent refund: €25,000 for a single person, €35,000 for a couple.

Tenants of a main home under the new income and property limits.

The refund counts rent that was declared and paid through a bank.

The new limits apply to the income on your tax return, as the law sets out.

You do not need to apply. AADE, the tax authority, finds who qualifies from the declared leases and the tax returns.
