I am advised by Revenue that the Local Property Tax (LPT) record of the person in question has been adjusted and the liable person has been altered as indicated by the Deputy. The delay in completing the alteration from the original listed owner to the ‘other owner’ occurred because the PPS numbers of both persons needed to be matched and aligned on the Revenue record. Up to the commencement of LPT neither PPS number was listed on Revenue’s IT system and were only operational on the Department of Social Protection (DSP) IT system.
Revenue has advised me that the necessary data matching was not completed in time to impact on the correspondence issued in respect of LPT 2014 and for that reason the notification issued in the name of the original owner. However I am assured that all future communications will issue in the name of the amended owner.
