Local Property Tax Exemptions (LPT)
Local Property Tax Exemptions
When Local Property Tax was introduced in 2013, property owners who qualified for local property tax exemptions were required to file a claim for the exemption by filing an LPT Return. In most cases a residential property that was exempt from LPT.
On 1st May 2013, continues to be exempt until 31stOctober 2019 (extended by 3 years).
Importantly, where a property is sold or ownership is transferred gift or an inheritance, the exemption continues for this period.
Initially it was thought and some Revenue officials still think that the 3 year exemption (now 6 years) only applied to First Time Buyers. However, it applies to any purchaser, whether new or second hand purchaser when said property was purchased in 2013.
