Selecting payment option for Local Property Tax (LPT) 2024

Mr Creosote

Hello,

Have just been looking at the letter that has come in from Revenue regarding paying the LPT for 2024.

 I wish to pay with one single payment in full for the year. If you make a single cash payment through a Payment Service Provider e.g. An Post / Payzone is it necessary to go online and select a payment option at revenue.ie?

Maybe it’s just the way I am reading it, I am a little confused whether or not I need to go online, log into the online portal to select a payment option for paying in one single payment?  Or does that only apply to people who wish to pay via phased payment options such as direct debit, deduction at source, regular cash payments etc.? Or is it for all payment methods.

I spoke to a friend who told me they always pay a full single payment at the Post Office and have never logged in online to the LPT portal to advise a payment method. He has never heard anything back about it from Revenue.

I understand the requirement to advise them online in advance if you want to make phased payments etc, but is it really necessary for one single payment? Just keep the receipt from the post office.

Thanks in advance.

My mother, who has never used internet, pays her LPT at the post office each year, and has never heard anything about it (apart from the annual letter reminding her to pay).

If you select one single payment in the portal you will need to pay straight away.

Don't log in and just pay by the date specified in the letter, the advance notice for other payment types allows time for them to be set up.

The one payment feature is for paying until 10 January, am I correct?
