- Over 80,000 calls were made to Revenue’s LPT helpline;
- 15,000 items of correspondence were received.
“With this high level of engagement expected to continue to increase further in the coming days, it is clear that property owners are making every effort to comply with their LPT obligations fully.”

About LPT
According to Revenue, LPT is a self-assessed tax, meaning you need to self-assess your property’s value on the valuation date of November 1st, 2021.
“The valuation of your property on this date will determine the amount of LPT you pay for 2022 and from 2023 to 2025.”
Revenue has provided an interactive tool and information on its website to help determine the value of properties.
