Salaries docked to pay property charge

Tens of thousands of homeowners have had portions of their salaries docked or tax refunds withheld after failing to pay property-related taxes.

Revenue has ordered employers and pension providers to deduct amounts from 45,000 homeowners after they failed to pay their household charge, the predecessor to the property tax. More than 19,000 people had tax refunds withheld by Revenue, after not paying the charge which was introduced in 2012.

TDs opposed to the charges have also confirmed Revenue have docked their wages.
