Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 April 2014
47. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if the Revenue Commissioners will contact a person (details supplied) in Dublin 9 regarding a local property tax payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16948/14]
View answerI previously referred to this issue in my reply to Question Nos. 72 of 3 December 2013.
Revenue has confirmed to me that a Local Property Tax (LPT) Return and payment were received from the person in question in respect of 2013. However, due to a data error on the LPT Property Register the person did not receive a payment reminder from Revenue in respect of 2014. Revenue has further confirmed to me that while the person s LPT record on the Property Register was amended to correctly reflect her details on foot of Question 51604/13, the LPT team inadvertently forgot to confirm the correction to her.
A member of the LPT team has now made direct contact with the person and apologised for the oversight. The LPT team member also assisted the person in selecting her 2014 payment option and I am assured that the person's LPT obligations are now fully up to date.
