Local Property Tax - Reminder

If you file your Income Tax, Corporation Tax or Capital Gains Tax Return on time, but at the date of filing:

• have failed to submit your Local Property Tax (LPT) Return or,
• have failed to pay the LPT due, or
• have not entered into an agreed arrangement to pay the LPT due,

a surcharge of 10% of your Income Tax, Corporation Tax or Capital Gains Tax liability will be applied to your Notice of Assessment automatically.

The surcharge will also apply to anyone who has household charge arrears/LPT of €200.

Revenue systems will be in place in September 2013 to pay and file the household charge arrears/LPT.

In the meantime, anyone wishing to pay the household charge arrears/LPT can do so by way of cheque or postal order (made payable to Revenue) which should be sent to the Local Property Tax Branch, Revenue Commissioners, PO Box 1, Limerick.  It is recommended that you write the relevant Property ID and your PPS Number or Tax Reference Number on the back of the cheque/postal order.

Please contact the LPT helpline on 1890 200 255 or visit www.revenue.ie for further information.
