Grants and Tax Back

Dublin Plumbing is fully registered and compliant with all the relevant government bodies to ensure that all work we carry out fall within the criteria needed to apply for any grant / tax back which applies.

We have extensive knowledge of what is available to you and will ensure that all the correct steps are followed. For example some work needs to be applied for online BEFORE the work starts, we will work with you to maximise the chance of you receiving the grant and avoiding the pit falls.

The two main grants available are the New Home Renovations Incentive Scheme and also the Better energy Homes Scheme Grant. The question we get asked the most is how much is available so lets get straight to that.

New Home Renovations Incentive Scheme:

The minimum cost must be €5000 (Inc VAT) for which you would get €595 tax back. The tax credit is calculated at a rate of 13.5% of the total cost (Inc VAT) and the maximum cost of project they accept is €34,050 (Inc VAT) of which you would get €4,050 tax back.
