I am advised by Revenue that as the NPPR is a historic charge, Revenue does not currently hold adequate information to prepare NPPR costings. As a result, the costing has been based on properties liable to Local Property Tax, excluding the first property for each liable person and excluding all other properties owned by Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies.
The table below outlines the estimated cost of introducing a tax on 2 or more properties as follows.
Properties Owned by Owners with | Number of properties | Rate of Tax (€) | Total (€) M |
---|---|---|---|
2 Properties | 171,099 | 1000 | 171 |
3 or more but less than 10 Properties | 89,804 | 1500 | 135 |
11 or more Properties | 95,176 | 2500 | 238 |
