50,000 people told to pay property tax or face levies

Revenue bosses have warned 50,000 people who have failed to pay the property tax they will start deducting the levy from wages or pensions if they do not stump up in seven days.

People in arrears have seven working days to settle bills after receiving a warning letter, Revenue said.

Revenue chiefs will then instruct employers or pension providers of those refusing to pay to deduct the funds at source.
