Daft.ie weighs in on property tax confusion

Variations in the valuation of homes for the property tax have widened further following the launch of a price calculator by daft.ie.

Values can differ by as much as four bands depending on which assessment is used, leaving householders even more confused about how to decide what their home is worth.

In one example, that ofa three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached home in Bray, Co Wicklow, the price calculator used by the Revenue Commissioners places the house in the €150,000-€200,000 price band, meaning €157 is owed on it this year and €315 in a full year.
