Deduction of Local Property Tax

The deduction at source is available to customers who wish to pay their Local Property Tax (LPT)over an extended period from their social protection payment.

To qualify for the LPT deduction you must be getting one of the following payments:

• Blind Pension
• Carers Allowance
• Disability Allowance
• Invalidity Pension
• One Parent Family Payment
• State Pension Contributory or Non Contributory
• Widows, Widowers or Surviving Civil Partner's Contributory or Non Contributory Pension

LPT is deducted over 50 calendar weeks, rather than 52. This ensures that you will receive the full amount of the Christmas bonus and the double week payments.

The department will not allow the LPT deductions at source to reduce the weekly personal rate of payment below the personal rate of Supplementary Welfare Allowance (currently set at €206.00 per week for 2022).

You should contact revenue regarding your LPTliability, your method of payment, or to apply for the deduction at source facility if required.
