I have a question about the non-principal private residence charge, NPPR, which is to be discontinued presently. The non-principal residence charge is a self-assessed charge which has provided significant revenue for local authorities. People who registered for this charge were issued with e-mail or postal reminders. However, I am aware of instances in which additional charges have been applied for late payments but e-mail reminders were not received. I accept this is a self-assessment process and that the obligation to pay remains with the owner of the second or third home. Will the Department consider advising local authorities to issue gentle reminders to owners? I understand reminders are not being issued.
