Revenue has provided advice on the top three reasons property owners are contacting the local property tax (LPT) helpline.
The advice provided in a Revenue press release is as follows:
1. An LPT letter is not required for the purposes of filing an LPT Return
Property owners who did not received a hard-copy letter about their LPT in the post may have received notification into their My Documents folder in myAccount or into their ROS inbox. However, the information in the letter is also available on the property owner’s LPT record and can be viewed when property owners are submitting their LPT Return in myAccount, ROS or the LPT Online Portal.
2. Property owners can self-register their property
If a property is not currently registered with Revenue for LPT, property owners can register it themselves 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.
3. Changing valuation bands is ok
There is no requirement to contact Revenue where property owners determine that their property falls into a different valuation band than the valuation band indicated on Revenue’s online valuation guide or the valuation band used for the purposes of their Notice of LPT Estimate. Property owners should select the relevant valuation band that applies to the property’s market value, as determined by the property owner, when submitting their LPT Return.
