I am advised by Revenue that the person concerned failed to pay either his 2015 or 2016 Local Property Tax (LPT) liabilities totalling €630, excluding interest, despite receiving a number of notifications reminding him to do so.
As a consequence the debt was referred to the Sheriff for collection. The person concerned subsequently paid the 2015 liability to the Sheriff and has very recently agreed to a phased payment arrangement in respect of the 2016 liability. The Sheriff has confirmed to Revenue that he has not seized any items from the person concerned.
Revenue has also confirmed that there is no deferral in place in respect of the property in question nor is there any record of the person concerned having ever claimed the relief. Revenue will however make contact with the person concerned to clarify any entitlement in this regard.
