March deadline for property tax

If you haven’t paid your local property tax or household charge or undervalued your house for the property tax, you have until the end of March to rectify matters.

The Revenue Commissioners have announced that householders have until April to make sure they are fully compliant with the tax. From April onwards, interest will be charged on any outstanding property tax (LPT) and any arrears in household charge bills.

But compliance with the LPT has been high with 93% of householders paying last year’s six month charge. So far this year, 82% of people have nominated their preferred means to pay this year’s tax.
