    Hi,

    Anyone else experienced a surcharge based on not 'filing' a return - acknowledgling the property price band that the governement placed you house in in 2013.

    Friend got a notice of a sizable surcharge, not for not paying their LPT, which they have been, but for not 'filing' a return.

    They don't remember receiving any correspondence that if they don't do this they face a surcharge.

    There's a logical flaw here: if they didn't get the Revenue estimate then how did they know what valuation "the government" (i.e. Revenue) had placed on their house ? The estimate letter clearly stated: "Even if you consider that the amount shown on the Notice of Estimate accurately reflects your self−assessment, you should still complete the Return on that basis..."

    So if they did get the Revenue estimate back in 2013, then the return would have been attached.

    From here:-

    Revenue wrote to liable persons in 2013 to notify them of their LPT obligations.

    For owners of single properties, Revenue issued both a:

    Notice of Estimate of LPT
    and
    Form LPT1 - Return for Local Property Tax
