Section 44 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended) provides that owners of more than one relevant residential property must meet their Local Property Tax (LPT) payment and filing obligations via electronic means.

To assist property owners in meeting this statutory requirement, Revenue developed an online system that facilitates a wide range of payment alternatives, including various phased payment options. The online system is available at all times, is very easy to use and is fully secure.

Revenue also provides an LPT Helpline at 1890 200 255 that property owners can contact should they have any difficulties in accessing or using the online system. In such circumstances the helpline agents will assist in filing any returns or processing any payments.

Given the high standard of service already being provided by Revenue to LPT customers, including to multi property owners, I have no plans to change the current arrangements at this time.
