Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 May 2014
176. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Finance the reason persons who pay their local property tax by monthly direct debit are unable to receive revenue refunds unless they pay the remainder of their liability; if the Revenue Commissioners will review this practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21056/14]
View answerI am informed by Revenue that property owners who are due a refund of tax and who are currently paying their 2014 LPT liability by direct debit (over the course of 2014) are entitled to receive their tax refund, provided that the direct debits have been honoured, and that the rest of their tax affairs are in order. They are not required to pay their full 2014 LPT liability now in order to receive the refund.
