I am advised by Revenue that the estimated cost of abolishing local property tax (LPT), assuming a 0% Local Adjustment Factor at each local authority, is provided in the table below. The liability below reflects properties where a return has been filed or LPT has been paid for 2025.

It is noted that the total figure (€554 million) is the same as the total figure provided in the response to Parliamentary Question 744 on 29 July 2025, which was inclusive of the Local Adjustment Factor decided by each local authority. Both figures have been verified by Revenue and are correct.
