For property owners for whom e-filing is not practical, I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the legislation provides that another person may file on their behalf, and they can visit their local Revenue office where computers and assistance to e-file will be available. In addition, Revenue has made arrangements for property owners to pay and file by telephone via the LPT helpline 1890 200 255. To avail of this option, the caller needs to have her or his property details, PPSN and details of the bank account or other source from which she or he wishes the payment to be deducted. Although it will not be possible for multiple property owners to pay their LPT liability manually (by cash payments through approved payment service providers), there are a variety of other options available to pay their LPT liability in full or by phased payment. I am satisfied that the range of payment options available to these owners provide a great amount of flexibility in paying the tax. The Commissioners further advise that the LPT Helpline will advise the customer on the payment option that best suits her/his particular circumstances.
