"ALMOST all households are set to be hit with a new €100 service charge to be announced this week, the Irish Independent has learned. There are 1.8 million households in the country and only about 10pc of homes -- between 150,000 and 200,000 -- will not have to pay the new tax.However, the tax will be payable by the property owner, meaning landlords will have to pay the bill and are therefore expected to pass on the costs to their tenants in higher rents. This provision will affect a host of social welfare recipients and low-income earners.
The collection of the household service charge is expected to follow the model of the tax on second homes, which is payable on the internet."
What the hell was the Non Principal Private Residence charge of €200 for if landlords are asking to pay a further €100 ??
Surely this is reported incorrectly? Any house which is rented would already be subject to the NPPR annual charge so I can't see how this could be right?
