Oh, that we were all so organised as you to remember a charge going through an account that was set up months previously......
The only sensible think you've done is pay by single debit authority. I don't understand your point about being caught out by an infrequent DD, that's a matter of people managing their accounts correctly.
That is very interesting. I saw the same thing (with the March date) and rang revenue about it. After an overexposure to some musical flotsam or other I finally got through to a person, I talked him through it. He was surprised the facility to change the amount was there so I asked specifically what the due date for payment was as based on that facility I could stretch this out. Would I or even could I be penalised so long as I paid by the end of the year I would be compliant with the legislation. I told them that logically there are two dates at play here. One is the notification of a means of payment date and the other is the due date of the tax. The due date being fixed at 01/01/2014 why then would I be penalised if I paid some in November and some in December, given I had given notification of payment means by making the first payment. He put me back on hold so he could consult with his colleagues and they concluded that the date had to be November 27th for debit card payment. So I said grand but that they needed to urgently address the issue of the incorrect information on their website as I would not be the only one to encounter it. It would seem that a change has since been made, however it does not tally with what the nice Kerryman from Revenue told me on the phoneJust tried this and got this reply.
You have elected to pay €1. Please note that your outstanding liability is currently 225, which means you will still have a liability of 224.00 after payment. Payment for the outstanding liability must be setup by 01/01/2014 to avoid incurring interest.
Are you sure you wish to submit your LPT details?
Why have you got to March?
Folks
This is going over my head completely ( as indeed is a lot of the LPT payment strategies)
1) mccard has a bank account
2) he wants to delay payment as long as possible?
3) He can set up a Single Debit Authority to pay in Mid March.
4) He has found a way to pay earlier than mid March, although admittedly later than November.
Why not just set up the Single Debit Authority?

The question is can you pay it using a Visa Debit / Laser in installments (at your descretion) between say now and the deadline without signing up for a Single Debit Authority.

But the question should be
"Why would any reasonable person want to?"
They would rather pay when they know they have it.
Are they being unreasonable?
