Revenue extends deadline for filing property tax returns
REVENUE has extended the Local Property Tax (LPT) return filing deadline by three days to 5 p.m. next Wednesday, November 10.
The quickest and easiest way to submit your LPT return is online via myAccount, ROS or the LPT online portal, demonstrated by the fact that 93% of property owners who have already filed their return have done so online.
Revenue confirmed extremely strong LPT return filing rates by property owners across the country, with returns in respect of over 1 million properties already filed. In the last three days, returns for over 250,000 properties were filed, over 80,000 calls were made to Revenue’s LPT helpline and 15,000 items of correspondence were received.
LPT requires property owners to submit a return to Revenue and they say they are very conscious that this can cause a degree of worry and stress for property owners who do not have a reason to engage directly with Revenue on an ongoing basis. Revenue is also very conscious that this is the first revaluation for LPT since it was first introduced over eight years ago.
In light of this and having regard to the fact that the return filing deadline falls on Sunday, Revenue has extended the LPT Return filing deadline to 5 p.m. next Wednesday, November 10.
To assist property owners who may not be able to access or use its online services or who need additional support to meet their compliance obligations, Revenue also announced that its LPT Helpline (01 7383626) will provide the following extended opening hours service in the days leading up to the extended deadline:
Friday, 5 November, 08.00 – 16.30
Saturday, 6 November, 09.30 – 13.30
Sunday, 7 November, 09.30 – 13.30
Monday, 8 November, 08.00 – 20.00
Tuesday, 9 November, 08.00 – 20.00
Wednesday, 10 November, 08.00 – 17.00
Standard telephone opening hours (09.30 to 16.30) will resume once the extended deadline has passed.
For property owners who have submitted a written query to Revenue (via MyEnquiries or by post) in respect of their 2022 LPT obligations in advance of the filing date, Revenue has confirmed that they will be treated as having complied with their requirements on time, provided they file their return promptly as soon as their query is resolved.
