dodgers
26.06.14
ANYONE with a second
residence or holiday home in Co Donegal who has not
paid the taxes due on it now have an outstanding
bill of €4,220.
This amount, accrued from 2009-2013, will rise
however to a whopping €7,230 on September 1, 2014.
Donegal County Council said it is "actively
identifying" property owners who may owe the Non
Principal Private Residence (NPPR) liability. It is
urging them to register and pay the charge before
August 31, 2014.
The council's director of finance Garry Martin said:
“The principal charge and late penalty fees for the
years 2009 to 2013 is now €4,220. From March 2,
2014, no new late payment penalties have been
applied to the amount of €4,220 that is outstanding.
However, from September 1, 2014 the amount of €4,220
will increase to €7,230 and will remain frozen at
this amount.
He added: “Donegal County Council is actively
identifying property owners who may have a NPPR
liability using data provided by the Revenue
Commissioners and we will be pursuing these
outstanding charges."
The NPPR unit may be contacted at
www.nppr.ie or by
calling Donegal County Council at 074 9153900. |
