Up to 80,000 homes exempt from property tax until 2021

Up to 80,000 homes will not pay local property tax until 2021, because of a decision to delay a review of the tax, the Irish Examiner can reveal. Homes built since 2013, when the LPT was introduced, were not subject to the tax and, given the decision to delay the review again, such homes will remain exempt.

Homeowners in such new properties will be between €2,100 and €3,500 better off than those in pre-2013 homes, who had to pay the tax.
