Homeowners who want to pay their property tax in installments next year are being told they must confirm that within the next few weeks.

Revenue has confirmed that letters are being sent to most property owners to establish how people want to pay the tax due in 2014. Anyone who opts for phased payments next year will have to confirm their method of payment by November 27th if they are doing so online.

Anyone doing so by paper has less time to inform Revenue as the deadline is just over two weeks time on November 7th.

If you paid in one lump sum or made regular payments in cash you will receive a letter from Revenue to decide how to pay it next year.

Revenue will not be writing to those who paid by phased payment method (direct debit or deduction at source from a salary, occupational pension or certain government payments). That payment method will continue to apply in 2014 and you do not need contact Revenue.

Revenue will also not be writing to those who claimed a full deferral or were exempt, as these carry forward to 2014.
