    There is a page on facebook that has samples of mails sent and responses from politicians. Please read this and if you agree please an email saying no to property tax to all politicians. We will have to take a hit this budget but I feel a property tax will be a step too far. We have a very small chance of stopping this if we act. If we don't expect a bill from revenue for a percentage value of your home. I paid excessive property tax already as stamp duty and don't see why I should pay this Government or any for the right to live in my own home. Thanks for reading if you do.


    SAY NO TO PROPERTY TAX The Government have been dropping hints all year that they will be targeting home owners with a property tax. We forgive those of you who believe that you have already passed over your brown paper bags to this Administration in the form of a punitive Stamp Duty for the right to own your own homes.

    At this point they cannot even outline what this tax will be. Once again they are depending on the fact that we Irish, as a people, will spend our time venting to our friends but do absolutely nothing to try and stop them pushing it through. If given enough time to rant, this government believes we will once again run out of steam and they can do as they please. They are not wrong.

    Anyone who buys a house is paying property Tax.
    Stamp duty for a second hand house and 13.5% VAT on a new house.

    So if you buy a new house for 340k. 40k is property tax so your monthly mortgage let say about 5 euro per 1k. You are paying 80euro a month property tax and you dont even know it.

    The sad thing is its mostly people under 40 who got srcewed and anyone how bought a house pre boom time prices does not have to pay property tax or pays much lower rates. Some system no wonder older people vote Fianna Fail.

    The only way forward is to allow people who did pay big time prices to right off what they paid through there current ttaxes. Chance of that happening nil.

    The chance is not nil, they said they would step the property tax retrospectively relating to how many years ago you paid stamp duty

    at least with the current system if you've paid it you won't have to pay it again.
    yea in the short term an annual property tax is cheaper but in the long run it most definitely isn't
