    Nope. But it is the topic of this discussion.
    So, do you expect them to refund the property tax?

    Its interesting that in a thread about SF refunding property tax, I don't see anyone who really believes that they will.
    It makes the thread kind of pointless really.

    After what Enda and Eamonn promised to get into power, nobody tends to believe any political party any more.

    Besides, might not cost sf to much to refund.

    We'll wait and see what he compliance rate is.

    Do you think that they will refund it? i.e. will it be a red line issue for them in any coalition talks?

    Taking the HHC compliance rate as a baseline and looking at the powers Revenue have, I think its pretty certain that the compliance rate will be high.

    Refund it? Doubtful
    Probably more likely to offer an abolition of it and fines attached, though i fully expect FF to post something very similar.

    The HHC was barely over a 50% compliant rate, despite what the govt wish us to believe. Bare in mind, that charge was €100, but now that is 3-4 times that, we might see 3-4 times the non compliance rate.

    Oh btw, people keep mentioning revenue like they're the bogeyman or something?

    Revenue have enough in their plates with tax evasion in this country. (real tax evaders)

    At last, we get an answer out of you. You evaded the question first time around.

    I suppose its not surprising that a few people will fall for the shallow populism.

    The official figures are far higher than that, an off course, outstanding HHC is automatically promoted to LPT, so eventually compliance will be much higher.

    That math isn't even possible!!

    Revenue are very clear that they are treating LPT evaders like any other tax evaders.

    Some peoples posts on here about revenue powers etc-revenue can only do what they are instucted to do-after what happened to labour last week in meath-I bet in private meetings many within labour are probaly having second thoughts about following through with giving revenue intructions to go after peoples bank accounts and wages- I know someone might say helen mcentee was elected- she was elected on a sympathy vote more then anything else and more then 60+ % of people never bother voting last week.

    Revenue are an Office, not a Department and out of direct Government control.
    They'll collect the LPT without interference.

    If you think SF are going to refund property tax, the real world must be a welcome distraction for you.
