Title: More charges from the Corpo
Post by: john m on January 11, 2018, 11:45:45 am
Drinking tea with me local Councillor says Keegan will ban traffic from College Green in three weeks .Then she tells me .Expect letters from revenue about your property tax .Although the council and the government agreed to no increase in property tax .Revenue have a different take on it .They say the value of your home has increased since you initially valued it and their remit is to charge the rate the council set on the present valuation not the value you put on it when the tax was introduced .I originally valued my bunker @120-140K she says that homes in Clondalkin now fall into the next bracket and the revenue will be instructing owners to revalue their homes to the present/actual value for LPT .

Its a great way of getting more coin out of us .Local TD says not me gove its the Revenue what did it ,I voted not to increase charges .When what he means is he voted not to increase the rate .It seems according to my pal some local Councillor from far far down the country contacted the Revenue for guidance and the Revenue are now looking to revalue your taxable asset.

Ross and Murphy want to change the tax to a site tax as Dublin home owners pay much more as their homes cost more for less than their country cousins .I would suggest it may of been a SF councillor trying to make this into an election issue ..

10 years less than the original 20 years it was taken out for.

They dont you do its a self assessment scheme but if you undervalue there is a penalty .Im sure if your present value is 300K but you sell for 500K then revenue will chase you for underdeclairing and hit you for unpaid tax plus penalties .

Increased my repayments every  month over the last 9 years so on the last furlong now.

That was the going rate at the time John M, people saw no way out only to pay the exorbitant prices,
and then when the bubble burst and the banks went to the wall, it was the ordinary Joe Soap left in
Negative equity and the bankers walked away scott free with a government bailout !

I think what she meant was we need to revalue our caves before the end of this year for next years tax liability to be assessed .So any letters will be to advise us .Bet this becomes a big issue in any election .

You're supposed to declare the value and confirm it's accuracy when you make your annual return... bit like self assessment.

The value you declare/confirm is the first valuation within the current valuation period. Valuation periods are c.7 years long but, presumably, can be altered by Revenue/Govt as it sees fit. Hence if your house was built prior to 1 May 2013 the applicable value is the value on that date. The next valuation period commences on 1 Nov 2019.
Title: Re: More charges from the Corpo
Post by: john m on January 11, 2018, 02:50:35 pm
I wonder if this is another of those government fuck ups .if your gaff was built at the time of the introduction of the tax then the value is set for 7 years but if it was built after that then there is no facility in the legislation to fix the value so you have to declare it annually .As I said election issue Im sure FF/SF will offer a freeze or a limit on the increase in valuation to 25% of the previous valuation if you vote for them .

As I said above, we only bought 2 years ago. Within 2 months was a letter from Revenue, addressed to me(even though she is the bread winner and first name on all documents) that the LPT had to be paid or I risked not being tax compliant.
When we rang the tax office about it they said “it goes to the Mr in the house” we told them that it should have at least come to Mr & Mrs Vikkiz and not just me. I then proceeded to ask “ was it because I am self employed and can’t work if it’s not paid” they had no response for us.

She still pays it. But in full in Januarary on the day it’s due(I think)

Title: Re: More charges from the Corpo
Post by: Rat Catcher on January 11, 2018, 02:54:10 pm
Maybe they intend(ed) to make new properties exempt until the next valuation date or even the valuation date after next. That'd give some scope for influencing the property market through valuation dates.

Tax seems to have a random element about it im sure Vicci paid LPT on the value of his home when he bought it but his neighbor pays the tax on the 2013 value which could be considerably lower and possibly in a lower band .Seems unfair .

Depends how handy you are, I guess. '08 was probably the unluckiest time to buy but values are getting back to those levels as more gobshites are being sucked in to keep developers and bankers in the style to which they've become accustomed. Nobody will ever accuse us Paddies of learning from our mistakes!

Rodent is there an anomaly .The value of the home is fixed at 2013 prices but if you sell the house for more the new tenent does not avail of the fixed price for LPT  purposes but has to pony up at the value of the new purchase price . I wonder could you insist on the 2013 valuation as it was fixed by legislation or is the VALUE a moveable feast for revenue
Title: Re: More charges from the Corpo
Post by: Rat Catcher on January 11, 2018, 03:20:11 pm
I'd tend to declare the 2013 valuation. I guess the 2013 value of a property completed in 2016 on one of the millions of sites abandoned during the recession would be a negative figure. Can one declare a negative figure for a rebate or is a minimum valuation figure specified?

They can hardly say the gaff is only worth 200k when they possibly paid 400k for it....that 400k is now the value....cos they fukin paid that for it...that's why Rosso wants it on the Sq meterage so the rich folk that have average size gaffs will pay the same if not a little more than yourself John....rather than you paying a lot less cos ye live in a crime riddled hell hole!!

I had a colleague of mine (Kieran) tell me that he bought in '06 fer 460K.
I said to him; "Ouch ! That was at the height of the Boom !"
He sez to me; "Well Ken, ya know the Boom and at the height of the Boom there was a Peak
and at the Top of the Peak there was a Flagpole and on top of that Flagpole was a little bird,
Well I was that Little Bird !".


At least he did get miz Cork/Belfast job last week.

NO HAL why would you have to pay the LPT on what you paid for it if you bought it this year ,the legislation clearly states ...Local Property Tax (LPT) is a self assessed tax. You must determine the market value of any property for which you are the liable person. You must determine the market value of each property as at the valuation date of 1 May 2013.

But they could say the gaff was worth 200k or even -150k on the valuation date, right? Why would one answer a question that's not asked?

Yeah...the market value....if they paid 400k for it...then that was the market value,if they let themselves get into a bidding war but felt it actually wasn't worth that much....well then they should have pulled out...anyways this is why Rosso wants to change the way LPT is charged/calculated.
