Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue

5:00 pm

Ms Josephine Feehily:

We have no role in the second home charge. If the financial institutions own the property they must pay or the receivers have to pay. They are the liable persons and they fit into some of the data problems about which we spoke earlier because stock in trade, empty properties from a developer or builder, are exempt but there is a liability and we are pursuing that.
