I am advised by Revenue that compliance in respect of 2016 Local Property Tax (LPT) currently stands at 90% and that this will increase further as payments made on foot of approximately 290,000 compliance letters issued by mid May 2016 are processed. I am also advised by Revenue that debt collection/enforcement action, including deductions from salaries and pensions, is underway against property owners who failed to respond to the compliance letters within the timeframe allowed.
