I have not paid yet.
As I said before- I will join a crowd.
And I will join the crowd which shouts loudest.
Hopefully it will be the one which objects to this unfair sort of property tax.
Time to get you house in order, Phil Hogan.
I would pay- but only when the system is fair.

+1. About sums it up for me too.

Wrong figures you have there, 1.6 million Households required to pay the household tax, roughly 1.7 million Households required to register, obviously some unfinished estate/unfinished apartment blocks are excempt for now, but they are still required to register.

you could be right, im not sure on the exact number of Households this applies too.
If you are correct and is 1.7 million then its only 4% who have registered.

Big diffrence between the SSIA and this. This takes a fortune out of your pocket that some dont have ....while the SSIA gave you 25% more after 5 yrs when people had spare money......

The point is that we tend to do things at the last minute. The SSIA offered us free cash yet we still didn't sign up in large numbers until the very last month.

There has been zero communication or information on this.

It is highly likely that a large proportion of the population, who don't closely watch politics or budget stories in the media are completely ignorant of this.


I myself need to go and Google how to actually go about registering for this latest highway robbery.

So if people wait till the last minute to get free cash you think theres going to be rush at the last minute to pay for someone elses debts...... I DONT THINK SO

It's quite easy. It is called a household charge and we live in Ireland so what website would you expect?
