Revenue extends deadline for property tax until tomorrow

In an unexpected move, Revenue said it was changing the deadline due to the unprecedented volume of calls to the helpline today.

THE REVENUE COMMISSIONERS have extended the deadline for paying the property tax online until tomorrow evening due to the unprecedented volume of calls to the helpline.

The original deadline was due to be at midnight tonight, but it has now been extended until 8pm on Wednesday.

In a statement this evening, Revenue said that around 10,000 people are paying the charge per hour, while the helpline has received approximately 30,000 calls today alone from homeowners looking for information and help with their payment.

A total of 1.45 million returns have been filed as of 5.30pm today.

The Revenue Commissioners said they were “very happy” with the level of engagement from the public, describing it as “a testament  to the strong voluntary compliance culture of the people of Ireland”.

    Rte is a throwback from the 70′s,between the amateur late late show and ever decreasing sports coverage its no wonder only half of us pay the licence tax for it.

    Trust RTE and the Late Late show to make another pigs ear of something, the overfed Jowls hanging off Marty Whelan for starters,
    Not one of those on the show would have been anywhere near the streets of Dublin in 1916 – these well paid TV licence feeders would have been decrying the rising from the rooftops,
    But is anyone really surprised by RTE anymore?

Last I saw of her she was saying she would strip off if the money was good enough! And then a z list celebrity model claiming to be a chef. Real chefs who spent years training must’ve been cringing! Where do these idiots get off, think they can turn their hand to anything! Maybe we could give these self absorbed fools a few quid to get lost forever!!! What utter rubbish!

    RTE is adding an extra TV licence fee for it like all the others who are celebrating it but haven’t a clue what it was about as they wave their little E.U. flags that Merkel, Troika and the IMF have given us…

    What would the 1916 spirit say to the IMF???

    John Perkins, Former Advisor IMF.
    “My job was to identify countries with resources that corporations covert, like oil and then arrange a huge loan to that country from the World Bank or from one of its sister organisations. The money however would not go to the country, it would go to our own corporations who would make huge profits, but the majority of the people would suffer terrible as a result, because money would be diverted from Education, Healthcare and other Social Services to pay interest on the debt.”

    What happened when the IMF moved in and the debt couldn’t be repaid?

    “We go back into that country and say, since you can’t pay your debt, sell your resource oil or whatever real cheap to our corporations without any environmental restrictions or, or social regulations. Privatise, sell your electric utilities, your water, sewage systems, your schools, your jails, all your public sector businesses to our corporations, and in the few cases where we failed economic hitman, the jackals went in and still do and aah, they either assassinate the leaders of the country or overthrow them in coups.”

    Irish Water is a classic IMF inspired resource grab. Get the public to pay for the set up then sell it off a couple of years down the line. Before you know it the average household would be paying two grand a year for water. The IMF is a criminal enterprise.
