Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 February 2014
50. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if he will arrange for the Revenue Commissioners to contact a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11 to arrange payment of their local property tax through a payment service provider or single debit authority. [9809/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by Revenue that information on all aspects of Local Property Tax (LPT), including details of the various payment options is available on its website at www.revenue.ie. Revenue also confirmed to me that it continues to provide a dedicated LPT Helpline at 1890 200 255 to assist people in meeting their filing and payment obligations and to provide any other information or assistance that might be required.
In regard to the specific case referred to by the Deputy, I am advised that the person in question selected approved payment service provider as her preferred 2014 payment option in December 2013. Notwithstanding this, a member of the LPT team made direct contact with her and discussed the range of alternative options available to her if she wished to change from her stated choice. Having considered the other payment options the person confirmed that she is now satisfied to remain with her original selection. She committed to pay the 2014 amount due in the coming days. The LPT agent also arranged to reissue the person s Property ID and PI number to her as she has mislaid the original notification.
