Minister for Finance

The Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 sets out how the tax is to be administered and provides for the collection of Local Property Tax (LPT). Student residences will be subject to LPT unless the premises qualify for an exemption or relief for any other reason. I have no plans to introduce a specific exemption for student residences.
