    Property tax is tax, not an expense so wouldn't ever expect to deduct it.

    Michael Noonan has previously indicated that he may allow it as a deduction. No mention today though.
    Taxes are often a deductible expense. VAT for example is deducted by most landlords as is stamp duty on Capital gains on the sale of assets.

    I heard from a tax expert, than although Revenue never said you coudlnt or didn't say you could write it off as an expense. Arent when there was council taxes, they were tax deductible and that provision was never remove. So in this guys opinion this tax is also tax deductible.

    That stuff is normally dealt with in the finance bill a few days later

    They have been explicit and clear in asserting that it is not deductible as has the minister for Finance. I question your 'experts' expertise. That said it is self assessment so deduct it if you like but if you are audited you are filing a false return.
