'We'll take it from your wages' - 150,000 people get property tax payment warning in the post

Around 150,000 Irish people have received a written warning from Revenue to pay their local property tax.

All residential property owners were required to set up a payment method for their 2023 local property tax (LPT) by January 10 this year, Revenue said.

The tax authority has since contacted those who who have not yet paid the tax or set up a payment method.

If a property owner refuses to pay, Revenue warned they may be subject to enforcement actions which include mandatory deduction out of your wages or pension.

Revenue also has the authority to withhold a tax clearance certification, can apply surcharges on income tax, or can offset other tax refunds against local property tax arrears.

Katie Clair, Head of Revenue's LPT Branch said: "Property owners who fail to do so may be subject to a range of collection and enforcement actions by Revenue including mandatory Deduction at Source (DAS) from salary or pension, withholding of tax clearance certification, the application of surcharges on income tax, corporation tax and capital gains tax returns or offsetting of other tax refunds against LPT arrears."

Most property owners have already paid the tax and Revenue has collected €314 million in LPT so far this year with a compliance rate of 90%.
