Revenue has confirmed that all payment options for Local Property Tax (LPT) continue to be available. This includes the options available through the approved Payment Service Providers (PSP's) who are An Post, Omnivend, Paypoint, and Payzone.

The PSP option is not and has never been available to owners of more than one residential property because Section 44 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended) provides that all such taxpayers must meet their LPT filing and payment obligations electronically.
