Extension to the LPT online filing deadline

Due to the exceptional level of filing over the last two days and unprecedented volume of calls to the LPT helpline, the Revenue Commissioners have decided, as they did last May, to extend the online LPT filing deadline. Property owners now have until 5pm on Friday evening (29/11/13) to file their 2014 LPT return. This will still allow Revenue time to implement the individual's preferred LPT payment option for 2014.

The LPT helpline (1890 200 255) will be open from 8am to 8pm today and tomorrow, and from 8am on Friday (29/11/13). Again, as in May last, any taxpayer that has submitted a genuine query - whether by email, letter or voicemail to the helpline - in respect of their 2014 obligations in advance of the filing date will be treated as having complied with their requirements on time. For this treatment to apply however, they must file their return promptly when the query is resolved.

As of 5pm today (27/11/13) LPT returns for over 870,000 properties have been filed.
