Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

The Local Government (Charges) Act 2009, as amended, provides the legislative basis for the Non-Principal Private Residence (NPPR) charge. The Act was signed into law on 21 July 2009. The NPPR charge applied in the years 2009 to 2013 to any residential property in which the owner did not reside as their normal place of residence.

There were five liability dates - 31 July 2009 and 31 March for each of the years 2010 to 2013.

The amounts payable per year by an individual that is liable to but has not paid the charge is set out in the table below. If a liable person has not paid the charge to date, the total amount now due would be €7,230.

Liability Year	Total Due
2009	€2,070
2010	€1,830
2011	€1,470
2012	€1,110
2013	€750
Total	€7,230
