    Maybe you should contact Revenue about that. I receive a P60 and a taxation certificate each year and my employer provides me with a payslip each week.
    After you've paid.

    You get a receipt from the state annually, and a receipt from your employer. Any invoices or bills in that lot?

    You're the funny guy - so emotive, and yet so shy to articulate the actual reasons you believe the tax is unfair.

    The old "its only x number of pints" argument. Is that really all you can compare it to? Its hardly a persuasive argument.
    The implication being that those who are refusing to pay it are dipsos... I think :confused:

    In two years time there wont be any such thing as a household charge. It will have been replaced by the Property Tax by then, so there would be no point in them coming back in two years time

    How will that be Donal?? Thanks to the household charge thats why!!

    This is why it needs to be stopped now before it escalates into €2000+/yr anyone with some bit of common sense can see this

    No they don't. They send out payment reminders. In any case, if you don't receive a payment reminder, that's no defence against non-payment.
    Never said it was a defence, just that they send a bill/reminder. Whatever you want to call it.
    The difference is that a bill details money owed.
    The documents sent in relation to motor tax and TV licences clearly state that the payment is only due if you still have a TV/car. That's not a bill.

    Well it says how much is owed. And a bill is a statement of fees owed. If you want to argue over the pedantics of whether thats a bill or not, fair enough, its a reminder then. But a letter is sent to say its owed, in fact, they send them multiple times.

    Believe me I can but I dont see any logic repeating what has already been said and to you it be like speaking to a wall since we are even having this conversation

    You really don't have anything to offer against the tax, do you? Not wanting to pay isn't really enough to pull those numbers you talk about behind you.

    But I'd love to hear what you have to say on the matter, particularly since you have 'hundreds' of objections. That's what discussion forums are all about - you don't want to be a blind follower of mass media, do you?

    No pulling required judging by the miniscule amount registered with a little over 11 days to go.

    Assuming the remainder don't intend paying. Which would be foolish.

    There's the thing - Tayto's crowd are no better than the blueshirts, worse if anything, and yet the partisan nonsense gets in the way of recognition that we have no choice but to raise taxation levels to european norms if we're going to ever get a sustainable economy, and that property taxes are a clear, and progressive part of that equation.

    Property taxes are a travesty.

    Basically you could spend all your cash on champagne and caviare and not have a problem. Take the same cash, save it and buy a home and you're liable to be taxed again on it.

    because there's no VAT or duty liable on champagne or caviar?
