Tax Relief for Loan Interest (Secured andUnsecured)

Tax Relief at Source (TRS) on Secured Loans

Tax Relief for home mortgage interest (Secured loans) isnot given through the tax system but is instead granted atsource (TRS). Mortgage repayments are be reduced bythe amount of the tax credit due. For example, if theinterest element of the mortgage repayment per month is£100, the mortgage lender will reduce the monthlymortgage payment by £20 per month. This reduction isthe same as giving tax relief at the standard rate of tax(20%).

Any future adjustments in the tax relief will be madeautomatically by the mortgage lender. It will therefore notbe necessary to claim relief on the annual tax return or tocontact the tax office.

Unsecured Home Loans

Relief for interest payments made on unsecured HomeLoans used for qualifying purposes, i.e., repair orimprovement of an individual’s sole or main residence canbe claimed by review at the end of the tax year.

Amount of Relief Available

Relief is due at the standard rate of tax (20%) in the year2003 and 2004 subject to the following upper limits:

BENEFIT-IN-KIND

With effect from 1 January 2004, PAYE, PRSI and theHealth Contribution must be operated by employers inrespect of the taxable value of most benefits-in-kind andother non-cash benefits provided by them for theiremployees. Full details can be obtained in Employer’sGuide to operating PAYE and PRSI for certain benefits availableon Revenue’s website, www.revenue.ie, from Revenue’sForms and Leaflets Service at LoCall 1890 30 67 06, orfrom any Revenue office.

Cars (2004 et seq.)

The notional pay to which PAYE and PRSI must beapplied is determined by reference to the “cashequivalent” of the private use of a company car. To arriveat the cash equivalent the employer must first apply abusiness mileage related percentage to the OriginalMarket Value (OMV) of the vehicle supplied (whether thevehicle is owned acquired new or second-hand or leasedby the employer).

Annual Business MileageThresholds

Cash Equivalent (% ofOMV)

15,000 or less15,001 to 20,00020,001 to 25,00025,001 to 30,00030,001 and over

30%24%18%12%6%

The cash equivalent is then reduced by any amountrequired to be made good, and actually made good, by theemployee directly to the employer in respect of any part ofthe cost of providing or running the car. For example, ifan employee is required to pay directly to the employer£50 per month in respect of petrol, the cash equivalent forthe year would be reduced by £600. If, without involvingthe employer, the employee pays £50 per month inpurchasing petrol for the company car, the cash equivalentis not reduced.

Alternative Basis for certain employees with lowbusiness mileage

In the case of certain employees whose annual businessmileage does not exceed 15,000 miles, the cash equivalentof 30% of OMV may be reduced by 20% giving aneffective cash equivalent of 24% of OMV.

This alternative basis is available where the followingconditions are complied with. The employee:

� works an average of not less than 20 hours per week

� travels at least 5,000 business miles per annum on theemployer’s business

� spends at least 70% of his or her working time awayfrom the employer’s premises

� retains a log book detailing business mileage, businesstransacted, business time travelled

and date of journey, and the log book is certified by theemployer as being correct.

2003 and prior:

Notes on the calculation of benefit in kind on motorcarsfor the years 2003 and prior are given in previous issues ofTax Briefing Supplement.

Preferential Loans

PAYE and PRSI apply to the benefit derived by anemployee from certain loans at preferential rates ofinterest.

PAYE and PRSI are to be applied to the differencebetween the amount of interest paid or payable on thepreferential loan in the tax year and the amount of interestwhich would have been payable in the tax year if the loanhad been subject to the ‘specified rate’.

Preferential Loans:HomeLoans

OtherLoans

Tax Year 2003 “Specified Rate” 4.5% 11%

Tax Year 2004 “Specified Rate” 3.5% 11%

Note: The amount of the benefit-in-kind on a home loanis treated as home loan interest paid. Tax relief is availableon the deemed interest paid on a home loan.

Bus & Train Passes

Benefit-in-kind does not apply to the provision of certainmonthly or annual bus or train pass by an employer to anemployee or director.

Mobile phones and Laptops provided by anemployer

Where an employer provides an employee with a mobilephone or a laptop for business purposes, a taxable benefitwill not be treated as arising if private use is merelyincidental to the business use.

Professional subscriptions

Where the employer pays a subscription to a professionalbody on behalf of an employee, or reimburses theemployee who has paid such a subscription, a taxablebenefit or emoluments will not be treated as arising ifmembership of that professional body is relevant to thebusiness of the employer.

Class C:Executive Officers, Clerical Officers and comparablegrades with salaries above £14,736

(ii) Overnight Allowance

Overnight Allowance (over 24 hours absence)An overnight allowance covers a period of 24 hours fromthe time of departure, as well as any further period notexceeding 5 hours, which is necessarily spent away fromthe normal place of work.

Where an absence exceeds 24 hours, a day allowance at theappropriate rate may be paid only if the last period of 24hours is exceeded by 5 or more hours.

Normal RateThis is payable for absences up to 14 nights.

Reduced RateThis is payable for each of the next 14 nights.

Detention RatesThis is payable for each of the next 28 nights.

Absences Over 56 NightsEmployers should make application to the appropriateRevenue office with a view to agreeing the rate to beapplied.

The period of subsistence at any one location is limitedto six months. Any departure from this position e.g. forcontinuation of the subsistence period for a shortduration, is considered on the circumstances of theindividual case.

Continuous AbsenceCertain absences from a particular temporary locationwould not be regarded as breaking the continuity of stayfor the purpose of reducing the subsistence allowance.These absences would include absences of not more thantwo nights due to a return on official business to theemployee’s normal place of work, plus any nights of aweekend or public holidays or return visits home orannual leave. These absences would not, of course,qualify for subsistence allowance.

TeamworkersWhere employees are working as team members and it isnecessary for junior team members to stay in the sameaccommodation as senior team members who qualify fora higher rate of subsistence, such higher rate may alsoapply to the junior team members.

(iii)Day Allowances: (i) 5 to 10 hours absence(ii) over 10 hours absence

A day allowance applies to continuous absence of 5 hoursor more, provided the absence is not at a place within5 miles of the employee’s home or normal place of work.There are two categories of day allowance, namely, 5 to10 hours absence and over 10 hours absence.

Absences outside the State

Details of the quantum of Civil Service subsistencerates for certain foreign countries are available from thetax office.

The Civil Service schedule of rates may be applied inthe following manner in respect of temporary (up tosix months) absence:

Period of AssignmentAbroad

% of Subsistence Ratefor Relevant Location

First Month

Second and Third Month

Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Month

100%

75%

50%

The rates may be used only in respect of there-imbursement of allowable subsistence expenses wherethe employee is working abroad on a foreign assignment.‘Working abroad on a foreign assignment’ means that theemployee is actually performing the duties of theemployment abroad for a temporary period. Whereactual vouched expenses exceed the flat rate allowancessuch vouched expenses may be used instead of the flatrate allowances.

Long-term absencesFor long-term absences (where assignment period isgreater than six months), reimbursement of allowablesubsistence expenses may be in the following manner:

Period of AssignmentAbroad

Allowable Subsistence

First month of assignment

(to facilitate the employee

obtaining self catering

accommodation)

Up to the Over Night Rate

Remainder of Assignment Up to the cost of reasonable

accommodation, plus

50% of the day rate (i.e. 10

hour rate) for the location.

Any departure from the above is only considered havingregard to the particular circumstances of the individualcase. The position as outlined is, of course, only relevantto the extent to which the employee remains within thecharge to Irish tax.

Accordinglythere will be VIES and Intrastatobligations if there are exports(despatches) to and/or imports(arrivals) from these countries.

European Communities (MutualAssistance in the Field of DirectTaxation, Certain Excise Dutiesand Taxation of InsurancePremiums) Regulations 2003. (S.I.No. 711 of 2003)

The Minister for Finance signedStatutory Instrument No.711 on the18 December 2003, with an operativedate of 31 December 2003. ThisStatutory Instrument provides for anextension at national level of the EECCouncil Directive of 19 December1977 concerning mutual assistance(exchange of information) by thecompetent authorities of MemberStates, as required by an amendingCouncil Directive of 7 October 2003.These Regulations also consolidateand give effect, in one set ofregulations, to Council Directive77/799/EEC as amended.

Payment of Tax by ElectronicFunds Transfer (EFT)

EFT as a payment method can beproblematic both for the taxpayer andRevenue, for two reasons in particular:

� First, bank processing of EFTpayments normally takes threeworking days. It is for this reasonthat taxpayers are always advisedto make sure to allow sufficienttime - at least three working days- for payments to reach theCollector-General by the duedate. If you do not do so you mayleave yourself open to an interestcharge.

� Second, a significant number ofcustomers who use EFT fail toprovide the information requiredto bring the payment to account.For example, if the taxpayer doesnot provide a customer number,or indicate tax type or period,there will inevitably be delays,which will impact adversely onboth parties.

It is worth noting that other paymentmethods are also available to you,which may be more suitable to yourrequirements. For example you canpay by cheque forwarded to theCollector-General, by Single DebitAuthority (SDA) or via the RevenueOn-Line Service (ROS). Paymentsthrough ROS or SDA will receivecredit on the day of payment. Chequepayments delivered in time to beincluded with normal banklodgements will be credited to thetaxpayer’s account on the day ofreceipt.

Remember that if you wish to makefuture payments by EFT, sufficienttime should be allowed for bankprocessing, and it is vital thatadequate accounting instructions areprovided.
