The deadline for filing the paper returns fell yesterday – but the online payment system remains open until 28 May.
REVENUE HAS SAID it is happy with the level of response to property tax payments, as the postal deadline for filing paper returns passed yesterday.

Yesterday, users reported issues using the online service for paying the tax. It transpired this was due to a scheduled system maintenance that took longer than expected to implement.
