Property Tax Estimate In The Post

Revenue table of local property tax bands at a tax rate of 18% for 2013 and 2014:




 Revenue is to send homeowners an estimated value of their home and property tax due, in letters to be issued in the coming weeks.
The local property tax payable on the market value of a property is to come into force from July and will be administered by Revenue.
Revenue will write to residential property owners in March including notification of an estimated amount of local property tax, a booklet on the operation of the tax, valuation procedures and payment methods and a form for completion.
The completed forms with a self-assessment of property value will have to be sent back to Revenue by May 7th on paper or May 28th electronically. The return will be valid until 2016 unless circumstances change.
If Revenue believes the amount of property value declared does not reflect the market value, it may question the declaration.
If people refuse to pay or do not send back the form the tax will be deducted at source, by sheriff or court action or attachment orders based on Revenue’s estimate of value, Revenue said
Revenue will develop a register of residential properties using sources such as Revenue data, household charge data and Private Residential Tenancies Board data.
The amount to be paid will be based on market value as of May 1st 2013 and will be divided into market value bands starting at €0 - €100,000 and going up by €50,000 per band up to €1 million. The liability at 0.18 per cent will be calculated at the mid-point of the band.
Properties valued over €1m will be assessed at 0.18 per cent for the first million and 0.25 per cent on the value above a million.
Payments can be made in one single payment or instalments from July.
Among houses exempt from the tax will be newly constructed properties which are unoccupied and unsold, mobile homes and houses in certain ghost estates.
Temporary exemptions include until the end of 2016 include new and previously unused properties purchased from a builder or developer between January 1st 2013 and October 31st, 2016 and second hand properties purchased by a first time buyer this year.

The State is about to create another housing bubble...

The Irish economy is set to repeat its old mistake of excess mortgage-lending... The run-up to Christmas is always a good time for burying bad news and this year was no different. On the Friday before Christmas, Bank of Ireland announced it was going to have to put more money aside to absorb possible losses on Irish residential mortgages. Just how much more money was not very clear but it would appear to run into several hundred million euro. The statement was extremely technical and did not actually talk about losses or defaults. But the point is clear. The bank had already put aside some money to absorb losses that might occur as a result of people not being able to pay their mortgages. It now seems that more people than expected are going to default and the bank has had to put some extra money aside. It is as timely a reminder as you could hope for that the Irish banks are still broken and still fighting their way through a mountain of problem mortgages as a result of their rec

Ireland's Celtic Tiger Excesses...

'Bang twins' may never get to run a business again... POST-boom Ireland is awash with cautionary tales of Celtic Tiger excesses, as a rattle around the carcasses of fallen property developers and entrepreneurs will show. Few can compete with the so-called Bang twins for youth, glamour and tasteful extravagance. Simon and Christian Stokes, the 35-year-old identical twins behind Bang Cafe and exclusive private members club, Residence, saw their entire business go bust with debts of €9m, €3m of which is owed to the tax man. The debt may be in the ha'penny place compared with the eye-watering billions owed by some of their former customers. But their fall has been arguably steeper and more damning than some of the country's richest tycoons. Last week, further humiliation was heaped on them with revelations that even as their businesses were going under, the twins spent €146,000 of company money in 18 months on designer shopping sprees, five star holidays and sumptu

Top property sales 2016 – who bought and sold...

The year saw a shift from D4 to D6 while the country market slowed on the previous year... DUBLIN... Dublin 6 dominated top-end sales this year and, in particular, Dartry. Whereas in other years coastal south Co Dublin and Shrewsbury and Ailesbury Roads have dominated, Dublin 6 and the area around Temple Road have become hot property. Top of the list was the purchase in May of Alston at 19 Temple Road for a whopping €10.225 million when former Paddy Power boss Patrick Kennedy traded up from his home on nearby Palmerston Road. In a quiet off-market deal, the Victorian property, on one acre, was sold by barrister Vincent Foley and his wife, Helen, who have lived there since the late 1980s. Around the corner at 5 Temple Gardens, €6.5 million exchanged hands when the detached redbrick house on a third of an acre owned by the late barrister and former attorney general, Rory Brady, sold in another off-market deal. Not long after Subiaco at 1 Temple Gardens sold for €5.85 million shortly a
