Revenue targets household charge

There is a discrepancy of some 463,000 people between those that have paid the local property tax and the household charge, according to the chairman of the Revenue Commissioners, Josephine Feehily.

Revenue is warning that it will be coming after people who haven’t paid their charges in April, with threatening letters arriving in the second half of April.

Ms Feehily was speaking at the Parliamentary Accounts Committee where she explained that different systems being used to collect the two separate taxes had resulted in the discrepancy.
