Update : May 9th 2012..
The latest figures show the total estimated properties registered for the Household Charge is 934,260. This is an increase of 13,000 on the figure of 921,568 given on 23rd April.
We estimate there are about 1.76 million properties that could be liable for the Household Charge - (See our calculations here)
so if the figure of 933308 is correct – that works out at just over 53% of liable properties that have been registered.

Im delighted to see that so few have paid. This boycott is the start of the peoples revolt against the apalling austerity imposed on them by our troika lapdog Government
PLEASE DONT PAY THIS CHARGE
ITS ABOUT TIME WE STOOD UP FOR OURSELFS
ITS TIME TO FIGH BACK AGAINST THIS SO CALLED GOVERMENT
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
IF WE ALL STICK TOGETHER WE WILL BEAT THIS CHAARGE
PLEASE JOIN AGAINST THE BOYCOTT! DON’T PAY THE RIDICULOUS FLEECING GOVERNMENT OF OUR ALREADY STRETCHED HOUSEHOLDS. WE’VE ALREADY PAID STAMP DUTY ON OUR HOUSES!!!! AAARRRGGHH.
here! here! you took the words from our mouths enough is enough is about time us lrish people stood up for once instead of taking everything lying down with a pat on the back for decades. Say no to HOUSEHOLD CHARGE, WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER ALL US IRISH PEOPLE TO BEAT THIS CHARGE.
Of course the household tax should be paid. It is the law of the land. Laws are are created by Parliament whose members were elected by citizens of this Sate. Ignoring the laws which don’t suit you results in anarchy and destroys democracy
Fair play to you John if you can afford to pay it you’re one of the smug lucky few. For the rest of us being beaten down to poverty levels already this is not even a possibility regardless of the law of the land – Not one person I know has or will be paying this charge. I agree with Joe – WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER… TO BEAT THIS CHARGE. They cannot prosecute 1.72 million people. the 0.01 million who have payed should be ashamed of themselves.
So mr heueston you “strongly,strongly support”property tax charge,which we know may soon run into severel hundred euros. Does your support waiver if one owns a property but actually owes the bank more than the property is worth? as is the case with ten of thousands of property owners. you can’t get blood from a stone. i’ve paid taxes all my life and paid my dues. this tax is unjustifiable,hysterically,disproportionate and down right wrong. i agree with mo and joe we must be united together Say NO!!
how does it if thats what the majority want???
John, While the tenents of your opinion are almost correct to the logic you propose, it lacks one critical element. The government are representatives of the Irish people and are in power to advocate and uphold those views of the voting population both domestically and internationally. Our nation was founded by and for the Irish people and our constitution states this very clearly. It seems that the Irish people, by a majority, choose to reject this bizare and grossly inept attempt by the government to run this country like some ad-hoc business venture that seeks to disregard the lives, views and opinions of those who actually own the interests. If the governemnt chooses to ignore its people and persists with this governmental blunder it would simply indicate that we have become another failed democracy. It would take no great leap of imagination or reflection to identify such failed nations in this world or the disasterous consequences for its people. Referendums are not just held in insolated polling booths, they are manifest first by a nations people in their opinions ,values and aspirations, hence the beginnings of a democratic process. John, I respectfully say that democracy is the founding principle upon which our nation was created and its laws are drawn to uphold this democracy. Our laws are to serve our democracy and as such our people, to not do so, would be at least unlawful and at worst, an Ireland lost to another politial principle akin to a dictatorship. Anarchy can only reflect the values of the minority and the majority of the Irish people reject this tax. Perhaps on a whim, it could be stated that we have an anarchic government that disregards the values and wishes of its people and one that did not uphold it pre-election promises. Could a fool that said he can, now be the fool that says he can’t? Can this same fool be the one that is now saying pay an unequitable tax in the short-term and we will work out the correct sum in the future? To agree or reject is simply opinion but the essence democracy is to have that opinion counted.
Nothing is safe from taxation at the present in Ireland. If Irish people pay this tax then it will pave the way for a Property Tax & Water Tax which averages around €1500 per year in some european countries. The Government is Threatening us with a fine of up to €2500 and prison for non registration/Payment yet not one banker or bondholder has suffered. This Government wants European-style taxation . Scrap the household tax a wealth and assets tax on the super wealthy instead.
Paid and proud to have helped this lovely country. Who else do we expect to pay for OUR SERVICES????? Anyway, Ireland being Ireland, by 50% of householders will have paid. The remainder will just pay more!! Simple.
Well done Peter, no doubth I will see you again on this blog when you are asking for advice about how to receive back your tax when the rest of Ireland hasn’t paid a cent. I can assure you that most will not pay and they will not be the ones looking for a rebate……….p.s Services can be paid for by taxing those on higher tax bands and a whole list of other more meaningful alternatives…..for example…by removing the strangle hold that the unions have placed on our country and by reducing those unnecessary positions in our public sector/services……..In my eyes the unions are just as responsible as our government for identifing a meaningful way out off this mess.
I can’t believe you are serious in what you have posted,we are borrowing money to pay the public service salaries.100e is “NOTHING” to who exactly?maybe not to you but to plenty of people it is something. when the proper charge is introduced next year and its between 800e t 4000e wil people like yourself be this quick to pay.
Good man Peter, throwing good money after bad..Thats your choice
I helped this country to success too. How much will it cost each household to straighten the country out.
I don’t earn a lot, I have a mortgage and bills like everybody else. I’m struggling!!!! I’m saying no to this..
