Question:

83. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the extent of outstanding property tax due on the home of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32040/17]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that the outstanding Local Property Tax (LPT) liabilities in respect of the property in question have been paid in recent days.

The payments covered the tax element only and did not include interest liabilities that accrued at 4% per annum on foot of LPT deferrals for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Revenue has confirmed that it will make direct contact with the liable person in the coming days in regard to the outstanding interest liabilities with a view to concluding matters.
