The deadline for paper based property tax returns is next Tuesday. But because Monday is a bank holiday, homeowners are being warned they that must post these returns by today, in order to meet the deadline.
After Tuesday, Revenue will not accept a local property tax return made using the paper return form.
People who opt to file online have until May 28th to complete the return electronically.
Tax officials are also offering the option for people to file online over the phone by ringing 1890 200 255.
Already over 332,500 returns have been submitted. Yesterday, it was revealed some €22 million in property tax has been collected to date. A total of 1.66 million homeowners are liable to pay the charge.
If homeowners miss the May 7th deadline, they will be forced to register online by May 28th next, or face the prospect of being hit with interest charges and late-payment penalties.
The tax will be collected from July 1th next, and the Government hopes to collect €250 million this year.
The Revenue's property tax helpline is 1890 200 255.
Vivienne Dempsey from the Revenue Commissioners explains in more details the payments and penalties involved:
