Troika review pushes for progress on property tax

A bailout troika review is expected to push for a faster introduction of the property tax, amid reports that most households will pay an annual charge of between €250 and €400 from next year.

In a quarterly report on Ireland due out today, the IMF will caution the Government about potential delays rolling out the tax.

The IMF is also set to push for reform of universal social welfare payments and to raise concern about reform of health services.
