NPPR Changes in Budget 2012
[broken link removed] December 7, 2011 | Posted by Money Guide
Hidden away in all the changes around Budget 2012 – are a couple of changes to the NPPR –
Non Principal Private Residence charge .
The Local Government Charges Act is being amended to bring in the new Household Charge – so while they are doing that the government are taking the opportunity to slip in a couple of changes that affect NPPR.
Firstly they are adding a
€10 admin charge for payments made “over the counter”
Secondly – they are
removing the exemption for properties leased to a local authority under the rental accommodation scheme, RAS and for those leased to the HSE.
The exemptions will be removed from 2012.
The exemptions will not apply to the Household Charge either .
Yet more hidden changes.............
Yes, landlords will be hit with both the NPPR charge of 200 euro and the 100 euro Household charge on the same property.
Also, those landlords who have properties with RAS were exempt from the NPPR charge up to now. This exemption will now be removed
