Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 November 2013
46. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Finance if the Revenue Commissioners will assist a homeowner who wishes to pay local property tax liability for 2013 but the PIN number provided was incorrect for this property and the home owner has contacted the Revenue offices in Limerick and Ennis to try to resolve this, but to no avail. [51110/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by Revenue that multiple property owners are issued with a single PIN number and Property ID to enable them to submit Local Property Tax (LPT) returns and payments through the online system for all of their properties. On the specific case to which the Minister of State refers, Revenue has indicated that the correct PIN number and Property ID codes issued to the person in question for the purpose of filing his 2013 LPT Returns and operated properly in that regard. The codes were again activated by the person to file his 2014 payments and again operated correctly.
Revenue has also confirmed to me that the codes can continue to be used by the person to access his LPT record for both of his properties and will allow him to pay the arrears for 2013. It is unclear from the information provided why the issues raised were not resolved to the person’s satisfaction in his contact with the Ennis and Limerick offices. Revenue has assured me that a member of the LPT team will make direct contact with the person in the coming days to ensure he is fully aware of how to access his records by using his PIN number and Property ID.
