    Of course they can - do you really think they couldn't?!

    There's a huge number of records to be combed through and audited, with their decreased staffing levels it's not really surprising they're a bit behind

    The LPT was introduced in 2013.


    What you may be referring to was the flat 100 euro Household Charge, for 2012.

    Household Charge Arrears

    From 1 July 2013, any outstanding Household Charge liability (including late payment penalties) was increased to €200 and was included as part of the LPT liability for the property. Revenue recently wrote to property owners, who according to our records have not paid the €200 arrears.

    Property owners have 14 days to respond to the letter by logging in to LPT/Household Charge arrears online (using their Property ID, PIN and PPSN) and making arrangements to pay the €200 arrears or updating their Household Charge arrears record online to confirm they have paid or are exempt/waived from the charge. Owners who require assistance or who are not the liable person for the Household Charge should contact the LPT helpline on 1890 200 255.

    For those who do not respond to the letter, a range of collection/enforcement options will be utilised by Revenue to collect the Household Charge arrears, including enforced collection from a property owner’s wages or occupational pension.

    If you have not paid your Household Charge, you should Login to LPT/Household Charge arrears online using your PPSN, Property ID and PIN and make arrangements to pay the €200 arrears as soon as possible. For further details please see Question 1 in the Household Charge arrears - Frequently Asked Questions.
