The deadline for Local Property Tax (LPT) returns has passed, with thousands of submissions received by Revenue today alone.

The tax authority said more than 18,000 LPT returns were submitted today as of 12pm, ahead of the 5.30pm deadline.

Property owners were required to file updated valuations for their homes to ensure they are in the correct tax bracket in the coming years.

The deadline for submissions was originally set for last Friday, however Revenue extended the deadline to this evening.

Since the extension was announced, over 115,000 returns have been submitted.

This is the first LPT revaluation since 2021, and Revenue acknowledged that some property owners may need help completing their return.

It said the LPT helpline has been in high demand, with 7,000 calls answered daily over the past week.

Revenue also said it was working through 100,000 pieces of correspondence, including postal queries and paper returns.

It said property owners who have submitted a query to Revenue through MyEnquiries, by post, or through other correspondence about their 2026 LPT obligations will be treated as compliant if they file their return promptly once they receive a response.

“This pragmatic approach ensures that anyone engaging with Revenue ahead of the deadline and following up promptly is considered compliant,” Revenue said.
