I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance information in relation to the Local Property Tax (LPT) is available in the most up to date LPT statistics, which were published on 10 October 2014 on the Commissioners' website at: . Updates to these statistics will be published in due course.
As shown in the statistics, the overall LPT 2013 compliance rate is estimated to be 95%. This includes approximately 29,500 properties where mandatory deductions from wages/pensions are or were in operation for 2013. I am further advised by the Commissioners that prior to any such mandatory deductions taking place, the relevant individuals would have received a reminder letter from Revenue advising them of the action they should take to avoid the enforced collection of LPT from their salary/occupational pension.
