I am advised by Revenue that the person to whom the Question refers paid his 2014 Local Property Tax (LPT) by Single Debit Authority (SDA) rather than by Direct Debit.

For the Deputy's information, the SDA option facilitates a single deduction from a current account (like an electronic cheque) and does not carry over from year to year in the way that Annual Debit Authorities, Direct Debits and Deductions at Source from salaries/pensions do.

Revenue also confirmed to me that a member of the LPT team has already made direct contact with the person and explained the various payment options to him. On foot of the discussions the person has again opted to use SDA to pay his 2015 LPT liability. The LPT team member activated the option for the person and his payment will be deducted from his current account on 21 March 2015.
