As previously advised in my reply to Parliamentary Question 85 of 29 September 2016, the Finance Local Property Tax (LPT) Act 2012 does not provide entitlement to exemption from LPT on foot of pyritic damage where remediation was carried out prior to the commencement of the tax in 2013, as was the case with the property in question.

However, on the basis of the revaluation now confirmed by the Deputy, the property owner will be able to reduce the value of his property by one Band for the current LPT valuation period (2013 2019) once he provides the necessary supporting documentation (a copy of the revaluation certificate) to Revenue.

Revenue has advised me that a member of the LPT team will make direct contact with the person to expedite the reduction and to agree payment arrangements for the remaining liability.
