THE REVENUE SERVICE says that more than 30,000 homeowners a day are returning their property tax forms as the deadline for the charge draws close.
More than 845,000 property owners have so far paid the charge, exactly two-thirds of whom have used the internet to make the payment. The remaining third have paid the charge by letter.
Revenue said the rate of payment has increased in recent days as the deadline of Tuesday 28 May draws closer, and has urged homeowners planning to pay to register on the website.
Anyone who received a property tax form despite not being the owner of a property has been asked to contact Revenue with the contact details of the person who is liable for the charge. Revenue has repeatedly said that the onus is on people who receive the form to correct mistakes or else face being pursed for the charge.
Revenue Commissioners say they have received more than 330,000 phone calls to the property tax helpline as homeowners attempt to ascertain the value of their homes and the correct band the property falls into in order to determine how much tax to pay.

Wouldn’t have happen in a Samsung store….. Who’d want them
Anyone that wants a top range product without having to pay an extra ?150 for the picture of the apple on the back?
Top range my eye! More like anyone who wants a delicate, laggy, all over the place phone! I tried samsung and was so upset that i wasted my time with it
Galaxy S3 has twice the Ram of the iPhone 5. dont know where you’re getting lag from but your probably comparing an older Samsung to a new iPhone.
What a false statement s3 has 1gb ram and iPhone 5 1gb ram too. So if 1 is twice more than 1 for you then good luck… S3 us version and perhaps Canadian has 2gb, but not European!
Also amount of ram is irrelevant to compare as they are different os and hardware. Dodge RAM has 2x bigger engine than Audi 2.0 tfsi and guess which is faster car…
That was only two Macs and four IPads! The price makes it seem like it was a lot more!
Maybe they were big Macs?
Can they not be traced? Surely Apple have the imei numbers etc?
They can blacklist the iPhones and iPads but if they are used outside Europe the phone will still work. As for the iPods and iMacs there’s not much they can do.
They will have no problem flogging them. If i knew it was nicked from a shop and not mugged from a person i would buy a macbook if offered.
And in one small statement you highlight what is wrong about Irish society.
Rob you idiot, they were armed and the shop was occupied with staff. As, if not more, traumatic as being mugged. Perhaps a gun in the face would focus your mind and change your opinion.
Lots of “Hot Apple i’s” on the menu in France today.
It’s only a shop robbery in fairness, in France.
Reported here because of the Journals obsession with Apple vs Samsung comments.
Already one of the most viewed articles today. And I don’t think it the staff in the journal office doing all the clicking.
Not true at all ?
1534views ? All other stories today have more or around the same views. Just to clear up your mistake.
Yeah but for the lenght of time this was up.
They can just catch them when they discover they can’t buy accessories from anywhere else and have to do a follow up heist.
New apple new range be sold as iRob range.
Very good Finbar :)
Read it again Rob. Concentrate on the bit about the staff.
Hold on a second, I work in retail and have been held up SIX times in 17 weeks. The first of which was my first day in the job, and was terrifying. The second one, not as terrifying. The third one almost became funny. After that, it almost becomes an in-joke for the staff. You just need the personality to get on with it afterwards.
Police suspect an underground apple organisation called pomm deterrorists is responsible.
€1million worth of apple products eh?
So, that’s about three iPhone 5s.
@ Brian – Calm down son. They broke into the shop 3 hours after it closed, no staff there.
Clearly says in the article they threatened the few staff who were there. Still okay in your opinion?
Apologies Brian – Missed that bit. Id still buy one though, so would you as no one was hurt.
You’ve never been robbed, Rob, have you?
Anyone that ever bought an apple product has been robbed! The tech is decent there’s no denying that but it’s behind the curve and in no way worth the asking price.
In fairness robbing a shop is a bit different than a person,its not like Apple will loose anything as the insurance will pay out
@MVM- People. There were people IN the shop when they robbed it. Insurance policies don’t cover the sleepless nights they will have for a long time after a robbery.
Noone was hurt or out of pocket..personally if I was working in a shop and it was being robbed I wouldn’t be to bothered I’d help them load up the stuff ..
New models of irob and istole available at a black marketeer near you.
Well the iphones will be useless as they will be remotely blacklisted as will the iPads if they are of the dual connectivity variants. ?1m in stock stolen?? Apple set to lose about ?10(including manufacturing costs)!!!
Boxing the 21st century fox.
I wonder if there will be charges!!!!
have your say
