Commitment

Progressively double the Rent Tax Credit

What this means

  • Fianna Fáil made this promise in their November 2024 general election manifesto, so it is a party commitment not yet law or policy.[source]
  • The party pledged to progressively double the Rent Tax Credit, which currently gives renters a partial refund on their rent through the tax system.[source]
  • Alongside the credit increase, Fianna Fail promised a deposit protection scheme to safeguard money renters pay upfront when moving into a home.[source]
  • A rent price register was also promised, which would make rental prices publicly visible and help renters and policymakers track what landlords are charging.[source]
  • No delivery date was set for any of these measures, making it important for the public to track whether they are acted on after the election.[source]
