Property taxAround 100,000 people are set to face local property tax bills for the first time with the Government ending the exemption from the charge on new homes built since 2013. There will also in be increases of up €100 or more for 36 pc of people who have been paying property tax since it was introduced. The move will see around 100,000 people hit with property tax bills for the first time. A new valuation system for property tax will also see higher bills for homeowners who have been paying the charge since it was introduced. SINN Féin has said the local property tax should be abolished rather than increased for tens of thousands of homeowners.
