Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2018
160. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Finance if he has read the LPT review group report in full in the context of his budget 2019 speech; if the report will be published; the timeline for the implementation of recommendations or changes to LPT in full; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42171/18]
View answerThe report of the review of the LPT is currently being finalised in conjunction with the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform, Housing Planning and Local Government, the Taoiseach and the Revenue Commissioners. I will of course, carefully consider the conclusions and recommendations of the report when it is presented to me. The report will also be published.
The purpose of the review is to inform me in relation to any actions I may recommend to Government concerning the LPT having regard to, inter alia, the residential property revaluation date which will arise on 1 November 2019. Any material changes would, of course, require legislation in order to enable the Revenue Commissioners to have the necessary administrative and technical arrangements in place in relation to LPT liabilities for 2020 and beyond.
