    I returned to work last April 2018, after over a decade off rearing a child. I own a house built 2003. Am I liable for property tax on my home? If so from when?

    Have you not been paying the whole time since it was introduced?

    Well, yeah? It's a tax?

    Why would not working mean you don't have to pay it?

    Yes, but not for not working. Even if there were, you'd have to apply for it.

    Well I was not working for a decade, during which I must have had an exemption. However now that I am back at work I want to know what date am I liable from and what would the rate be?

    There is no exemption for not working. You obviously had some kind of income in any case.

    You can defer payments, but you can't be exempted from them and revenue charge interest. You also have to apply for this, you probably owe the tax man a few grand.

    Property taxes are due every November from what I know. But you need to find out how much back tax you owe first.

    You were always liable. Just cause you didn't pay doesn't mean you had an exemption. Get on to to revenue to check how much you owe and get it paid up

    No

    You can defer it in cases of hardship but interest is charged. If y haven't asked for it to be deferred I think they slap on penalties & interest

    There is a household charge of 100 from 2012. If you haven't paid this I think you owe 200 by now.

    Taking time off to rear a child = not relevant for LPT.
