Carol Nolan is demanding clarity on the Rent Tax credit for parents of third level students.

An Offaly TD wants the Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe to guarantee the continuation of the Rent Tax Credit for parents of third-level students.

Introduced in 2022, the RTC allows parents to claim up to €2,000 in tax credits for qualifying rent.

Carol Nolan wants clarity, following the student housing crisis and rising cost of living.

The Finance Minister says decisions on tax measures will only be made during Budget processes.

The Independent rep says cuts to the RTC could follow recent reversals on student fee reductions:
