Revenue said over 1m Local Property Tax (LPT) returns have been filed by residential property owners so far ahead of Friday's deadline.

In an update, they said the returns are in addition to filing activity from large-scale multi-property owners, such as councils and approved housing bodies that have over 200,000 properties registered to them.
