I understand the Deputy is referring to the payment of Local Property Tax (LPT). LPT is a self-assessed tax, administered in accordance with the provisions set out in Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended).

I am advised by Revenue that it wrote to approximately 1.4 million property owners in September and October 2021 advising them of their statutory obligations for the new LPT ‘valuation period’ (2022 to 2025). These obligations included determining the market value of their residential properties at 1 November 2021, filing their LPT return/s and paying or arranging to pay their LPT liability for 2022.

As part of campaign to contact 1.4 million property owners, Revenue identified approx. 200,000 property owners who had not previously engaged with them online. These property owners were sent hard copy paper LPT1 Forms, which gave them the option to submit their valuation to Revenue by way of paper return.

A barcode is not required to make a payment in the post office. Payment can be made once the property owner provides their Property ID and their PIN number. This is available on all LPT related correspondence, can be found online through myAccount or ROS, or can be provided to a property owner over the phone at Revenue’s LPT Helpline 01 7383626.
