Household Charge
The Household Charge is a new tax on home owners that came into force in Ireland on January 1st 2012. It is expected to raise €160 million a year.
The charge was introduced as one of the requirements mentioned in the IMF EU bailout agreement. This Household Charge – sometimes referred to as the Household Tax or Home Tax – is €100 for 2012 . It is planned to be a only temporary measure while a full property tax system is planned and implemented. (2014 target date).
The purpose of the Household Charge legislation was two-fold – 1) to require the owners of certain residential properties to pay an annual charge to local authorities. 2) The legislation also requires the provision of information relating to each property to enable the preparation of a database of residential properties in the state.

My youngest child attends school in Donegal.The parents have to pay towards the cost of heating oil and electricity. We pay for school books for 3 children.Our septic tank is our responsibility,our water we pay for on a group scheme,we pay weekly to have our bin emptied. We are in the same position as most of this country and now we’re expected to pay a made up ‘household charge’.I won’t be paying and look forward to any representative from the government knocking on my door asking me if i’ve paid.I wont be paying!
There is no law saying we have to pay the new house hold charge.. With out a law in place there is nothing they can do if I or every one else does not pay..
There was 33,000 millionaires in Ireland which have a total net worth of €156.21 billion between them.
Tax that an extra 1% and that 1.5 billion..
Taxing normal working peoples homes will only take in about 400 million..
Another low blow to the people from the government..
But im sure by 2015 the house hold charge will take in alot more as it will just increase every year..
Ceith – there is a law in place that makes it an offence not to register or not to pay the household charge. A fine of upto €2500 can be applied on conviction.
we are in the middle of selling our house , what is the story there .
B Murphy … If you owned the house on Jan 1st you are liable for the full charge and you will need to pay it before you sell if you want to avoid any problems or delays.
I live overseas and have done for the last 5+ years. My apratment is rented and it registered as a rental property – am I liable for this tax also?
Yes Ruth you are liable – and will now have to pay €111 – because of the €10 late payment fee and 1% interest..
