Flooding victims not allowed revalue homes for lower property tax
Revenue chiefs have also told the Irish Examiner that — despite Government suggestions the taxes could be reduced downwards — there would be no decreases because of flooding.
Several ministers, including Mr Noonan, previously said during ‘Storm Desmond’ that homeowners should submit a new valuation for property taxes, which are self-assessed. Mr Noonan said then it was “already within the legal base of the property tax to allow householders to deal with reducing values from any extraneous event including flooding”.
