Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 June 2016
141. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance the reason a person (details supplied) has been informed that a property will only be exempt from local property tax with effect from 1 November 2016 and that the exemption will apply for the years 2017 to 2022, given that the person is in possession of certificates of damage dated 9 April 2014 and 30 January 2015. [14625/16]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the property in question, in accordance with the Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Act 2015, qualifies for an exemption from Local Property Tax (LPT) on foot of pyritic damage. The property was accepted into the Pyrite Remediation Scheme on 1 April 2016 and is therefore eligible for the exemption for the next six years starting in 2017 and running until 2022.
The person concerned also applied for the exemption in respect of the years 2012-2016 (including arrears of Household Charge) but has not yet provided the necessary supporting documentation. When that documentation is provided to Revenue the matter will be considered further.
