    It seems like something that we could definitely get rid of if we all stuck together.

    What if you are on the dole - do you still have to pay?

    Yes.

    Even OAP`s.

    Only exemptions are people living in social housing and disabled.

    There are four of us living in a rented house so no doubt the landlord will jack up the rent.:mad:

    Only 250,000 households, some 14 per cent, will be exempt from paying the charge. They include people in social housing owned by local authorities, families in receipt of mortgage-interest supplement and people living in nursing homes or mental institutions.
    From the link in my first post in this thread. Which is 100% more links than you've provided.

    That and telling others that we like to bend over and take it, whilst doing nothing ourselves.

    Protest outside the Daíl on the 9th of December. Will you be there?
    We could also do it on the 10th, but that's a Saturday, and most TD's will be in their local pubs giving out advice to people looking for welfare handouts.

    What's that? You're working on the 9th?
    Ahh, I see. You want protests, but you don't actually want to protest yourself.
    You're employed, but look down on the unemployed and call them leeches, even though most of them want to work, but can't find jobs.
    You want them to protest against the government, but are unwilling to do so yourself because you have a good job and just want to bitch and moan about the unemployed.


    You're pissed off that the unemployed get €188 a week from your taxes, but would quite willingly take that money after your 6 months of benefit run out should you ever join the ranks of the long-term unemployed.

    It's ok. You're Irish. You're the exact same as every other Irish person. You feel entitled to everything, but hate that others are entitled to everything too.

    You won't do anything about it though, because you don't want to go near the useless hippies in Dame Street.
    Hey, I'm with you on that one. They really won't achieve anything.

    At the end of the day, the only way we will get out of the **** we're in is to raise taxes on everything. Bring PAYE back to 1980's levels.

    Nobody wants to heat it. Nobody wants to do it, but we have to pay for the mistakes of successive FF governments, and make sure that FG and Labour don't lead us down the same road again.*

    I don't understand that though. My friend, when he was living here, wired up the 'joy and Arbour Hill for cable. Prison tv's are capable of receiving all UPC's basic channels.

    The last time I was in the 'joy, I was forced to watch Dr. Phil on RTÉ 1. A fellow prisoner had the remote to my padded cell and told me that it was the only decent thing on.
    Thankfully I was released a couple of hours later.


    *That was directed at the general Irish public, and not specifically at you.

    Not everyone on the dole claim MIR so its not true to say those on the dole are exempt.
    These are some of the details of the new Household Charge or Property Tax that will be introduced as part of the 2012 Budget – from January 2012.

    The 2012 charge will be €100 a year – but it will be increased in 2013
    Property Owners not occupiers will be liable for the charge. Tenants will not have to pay it.

    Billing: No bills for this household charge will be sent – the charge will be on a self declaration basis. Registration and payment can be carried out online when the HouseholdCharge.ie website is up and running.

    The Household Charge is an interim measure to be put in place until a full property tax system is worked out.

    The liability date will be January 2012 and households will have three months to pay. Late payment penalties will apply of €10 a month.

    If charges remain unpaid a charge will remain attached to the property – if a property is sold the new owner becomes liable for outstanding monies.

    Registration for the charge will be done either online or by post. Payers will be able to pay a one off payment online or by post or spread the payment quarterly by direct debit .

    The following properties are exempt from the Household Charge :
    1. Properties that are part of the trading stock of a business (not sold or not generating an income );

    2. Properties owned by local authoritie and approved non-profit housing bodies and rented as “social housing”

    3. Property Owned by Government/HSE;

    4. Properties Owned by a Charity;

    5. Properties where commercial rates apply;

    6. Properties where a person is forced to leave their house due to long-term mental or physical infirmity (elderly person that has moved into a nursing home).
    The following households will have the charge waived :

    1. Those in receipt of mortgage interest supplement (i.e on very low incomes)



    2. Those in certain category 3 and 4 unfinished housing estates (Estimated to be less than 400 estates)
    Category 3 is where a receiver has not been appointed and the developer is still in place but effectively inactive . Category 4 is where the development has been effectively abandoned and is posing serious problems for residents .
    (No mention of mobile home owners not being liable yet)

    I've amended my earlier post to read supplement btw.

    I also said "some" people on the dole. You quoted me before the ninja edit.

    I'll be paying it. Anything that gets this country up and running again can only be a good thing for my future too.

    Besides, I get tax relief on my mortgage every month so 1 TRS covers property tax for year.

    I just hope they don't increase employees tax/prsi/usc aswell. People need the incentive to stay working or want to work.

    + I pay enough to fund high public sector pay and pensions. Some public sector pensions are over 120,000 per year. They should cut those before I give the government another cent.

    amazing...firstly they think as per usual for progressives that a tax will bring in what they expect....it never does and is designed that way. thats how they will justify the increase next year. if you honestly believe this is for debt payments you honestly need to read up on how governments work. they dont want to ever pay that off...its a control mechanism on you to keep you in perpetual crisis.

    listen for this nextg year 'we expected to get 1 billion but only got 700 millions so this year the cost will be 140 euro per year.'

    of course that wont bring in the expected revenues either...and guess what this is designed that way as well.

    the objective is to ensure you think the following

    that YOUR wage that YOU earned for YOUR work is not yours, its the governments

    they let you keep some of it. bend over ireland your master is in the house.

    its time to stop this madness.

    Would have no problem paying this tax as i believe it's necessary.

    However I resent having to subsidise the fcucks who will try and resist this exercise...really want the Gov to ensure that all who are elligible to pay this tax .actually do pay and the ****ers who try to slip under the radar don't get away with it.

    We are in a bad place ...we need to get real...innit ?

    If the Government agree not to flush it down the toilet and we get something in return, then fair enough.

    Pissing it away paying over the odds for ****e developments and bankrupt banks and sickening pensions and expense accounts is not using it properly though.

    Increase taxes and charges.

    Is this the only solution this brain dead government can come up with?

    Firstly the income levy was imposed which was upped to the USC.
    Private pension levy put on pensions worth fcuk all.
    Vat going up 2%.
    Household charge in 2012, increasing in 2013.
    The few tax reliefs we had are being eroded.

    All this while our wages are being cut drastically and the cost of utilities continue to rise.

    Will the loss of revenue from closed down retail outlets, pubs, cafes, businesses and services (which is an un-reported epidemic) be worth the extra tax take?

    Are they considering the consequences of this, the loss to the state of direct revenue from council rates, personal and business taxes.
    Indirect revenue from rent, insurance, energy, suppliers etc.
    Couple this with inevitable increased social welfare payments.

    This is leaving aside the huge burden of mortgages on individuals which will be made worse by all this.

    Why not cut the scandelous waste in the relevent government departments and leave people with a few bob to spend and circulate a bit of business.

    The idea behind the current set up, regardless of who is in government, is to protect those already working in the public sector (which includes themselves). I happily pay for nurses,gardai etc...but when i hear friends tell me they are literally bored out of their minds getting paid to sit at desks doing nothing with pension plans that i cannot afford to pay for (but am anyway-i just pay for theirs instead of my own)...its tough and grating.
    The current set up is a scam. Its designed to cripple the vast majority of us to ensure a few hundred thousand get through as comfortably as possible. In case anyone did not read the small print about the recent announcements regarding cutting the public sector, here it is: There will be no forced redundancies

    Same old Ireland, protect a few at any cost to the rest.

    I'd be interested to know if there is a group set up to oppose this. Mass refusal to pay is as strong a protest as can be made. I personally think its abhorrent.
    The one thing that most families work towards is the security of owning their own house... now if you can't come up with a lump sum every year they can take your house away? The whole thing makes me very angry.

    Looking forward to Richards Boyd Barrets opposition to this, given that if he had his way we would be taxed to the gills.
