Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
132. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Finance his plans to reform the local property tax; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the system is unfair to persons living in the greater Dublin area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6989/18]
View answerI recently announced a review of the Local Property Tax (LPT) which will look in particular at the impact on LPT liabilities of property price developments. It will include an examination of the outstanding recommendations of the 2015 Thornhill review of the Local Property Tax. It is expected that the review will be completed at the end of August and that the review report will provide a number of policy choices for consideration. The review will be informed by the desirability of achieving relative stability, both over the short and longer terms, in LPT payments of liable persons. It will also include a consultation process to enable all interested parties and individuals to submit their views on the future of the LPT.
