The idea of a Property Tax  was first mentioned in the IMF/ECB agreed Four Year Plan –  back in November 2010 – where Fianna Fail committed to a ” site value tax” to be introduced in 2012 – with a minimum charge of €100 per property.

It could have been worse :  – there was a report about Property Tax by the ESRI in 2010 – which recommended even higher levels of tax (o.4%).

The IMF suggested a rate of 0.5% – which if implemented would mean a property tax of €1125 a year for a house valued at €225,000.
