Noonan to reject Labour calls for tax deadline changes

Demands by the Labour Party to change the timeline for property tax payments are set to be rejected by Finance Minister Michael Noonan when the issue is discussed at Cabinet today.

The Government is expected to urge Revenue to explain the payment options more clearly to the public and clear up confusion sparked by a letter sent to almost a million homeowners last week.

Mr Noonan met with the Revenue chairwoman, Josephine Feehily, last night to discuss the controversy.
