Fianna Fail accuses Government of ‘playing games’ over property tax

A review of the local property tax system is under way and is due to report in the first quarter of this year.

Update 1.43pm: Fianna Fail has accused the Government of “playing games” over property tax, which is to be reviewed for the first time this year.

Local property tax (LPT) is based on the market value of a house, but the rapid increase in prices has prompted concerns about the hikes in tax homeowners will have to pay.
