IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027: Supporting A Sustainable Rental Market
The Irish Property Owners’ Association has published its Pre-Budget Submission 2027, setting out a series of measures which we believe are necessary to help stabilise Ireland’s private rental sector and protect the supply of rental accommodation.
At a time when landlords continue to face increasing regulatory requirements, taxation pressures and reduced flexibility, the IPOA is calling for a more balanced approach that recognises the essential role private landlords play in providing homes across Ireland. IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027…
Our key proposals for Budget 2027 include:
- 🏠 Recognising landlords as businesses for tax purposes, including greater deductibility of legitimate expenses, pension contributions and improved treatment of losses. IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027…
- 📉 Reforming Capital Gains Tax, including a proposed 0% CGT rate where a rental property is sold with tenants in situ and remains within the rental market. IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027…
- 🔧 Improving landlords’ ability to reinvest in their properties by reducing the capital allowance write-off period and broadening qualifying expenditure. IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027…
- 💶 Strengthening Residential Premises Rental Income Relief, including extending it to 2032, increasing the annual relief and removing clawback provisions where the property continues to be rented. IPOA Pre-Budget Submission 2027…
The submission argues that these measures should be viewed as targeted interventions to protect rental supply, rather than simply as tax concessions. IPOA’s position is that maintaining a viable private landlord base is important not only for property owners, but also for tenants, affordability and the wider housing system.
