    I have two investment properties, which I pay €200 each for under the Non-Principal Private Residences tax. Now they have introduced the new €100 property tax.
    http://www.moneyguideireland.com/category/property-tax

    According to this site, "owners of residential property will be liable for the charge on each residential property they own on 1st January 2012.
    Tenants will not have to pay the Household Charge".
    So will we have to pay €300 per year for each property or how does this work????

    Yes.

    200 pa per house if the house is not your PPR.

    100 pa for each house you own.

    If you own two houses, and neither are your PPR, you will pay 300 per house.

    Although, the IPOA (Irish Property Association) have a press release this month (Jan) saying these 2 taxes can legitimately be passed on to tenants under clause of a lease saying that all rates be paid by tenants. Most leases should have this.
    The short explanation is that the new tax is used to pay for local services - street lights, cleaning, roads etc. and tenants pay for what they use in the same way they pay for electricity they use.
    Because the IPOA had announced this, it means the PRTB would not, or would have difficulty going against this.
    The IPOA recommends billing €25 per month or giving tenants the opportunity to pay the full €300 up front.

    As a lot of rental properties are let to people in receipt of rent allowance, the €300 would have to be added to the new ceiling amounts.... so the government could pay the new tax to themselves!

    I think that is where the problem could arise, passing the rate on to the tenant would have to be across the board, not just to not rent allowance recipients.
