Scout, girl guide dens and pyrite homes exempt from property tax

Scout and girl guide dens and accommodation used for similar types of gatherings will be exempt from the property tax under amendments to legislation being published today.

There will also be waivers for thousands of homeowners affected by pyrite, as already signalled by the Government.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan said in December that homes affected from pyrite heave would get a waiver, according to the damage done to a property.
