Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-09
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

The local property tax, LPT, increase kicked in last month. The Government has ensured that virtually every household in the State has experienced a property tax increase. Thousands faced a substantial increase as they were pushed into higher valuation bands. Now that the households that are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis have gotten their letters through the door telling them that their property tax is going up, how many have filed updated valuations for the LPT that have gone up a band? What is the average additional cost to those households that have moved into an increased band?
