Today is the valuation date for local property tax (LPT). Revenue is reminding property owners that the deadline for submitting LPT returns is 7 November 2021. Revenue confirmed, as of last Thursday, that LPT returns for 530,000 properties or approximately 30 percent of the expected returns for properties liable for LPT in 2022 have been filed in advance of the deadline. Revenue is providing useful hints and tips for property owners trying to contact the LPT Helpline, which is said to be extremely busy.
In a press release, Revenue confirmed that LPT Helpline has been extremely busy, with calls recently exceeding 10,000 per day. Katie Clair, Head of Revenue’s LPT Branch advises the following:
“The busiest time for calls coming through to our LPT Helpline is between 9.30 and 11.30 each morning. If you are having difficulties getting through to us, please try again later in the day if you can.
If you haven’t received a letter about your LPT in the post, it may be in your My Documents in myAccount or in your ROS Inbox. We know that some property owners may not have received a letter, for example, where the property was not on the LPT register. These property owners still need to do 3 things by the 7th of November – value their property, submit their LPT return and indicate on the return how they will pay their LPT for 2022.
If your property is not currently registered with Revenue, you can register it yourself by clicking on the ‘Register New Property’ link on the Property Services Card in myAccount or in the Other Services section on the ROS homepage.
We expect that some property owners will determine that their property falls into a different valuation band than the valuation band indicated on our online valuation guide or the valuation band used for the purposes of their Notice of LPT Estimate. Where this is the case, you do not need to contact Revenue, all you need to do is select the relevant valuation band that applies to your property’s market value when submitting your LPT Return.
Finally, to date we have received around 30,000 items of correspondence from property owners regarding their LPT. If you have written to Revenue and haven’t heard back yet there is no need to follow up with a phone call. We are working to respond to correspondence as quickly as possible.”
Revenue also published updated LPT statistics, which indicate that 31 percent of property owners who filed returns have valued their property in the €0 - €200,000 self-assessment valuation band.
Further information on determining the value of a property and completing the LPT return for 2022 is available on the Revenue website.
