Threshold: €200 'levy will be passed on to tenants'

Threshold, the national housing organisation, has criticised the levy of €200 that will be imposed on non-principal private residences, announced in today’s Budget, saying that the levy will be paid by tenants.

According to Aideen Hayden, chairperson of Threshold, there is a strong likelihood that landlords will pass the levy directly on to their tenants.
