206. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the continuing problems faced by home-owners in fairly valuing their properties for the purposes of the local property tax whereby early registers have based their valuations on the property price register data available at the time but later registers have based their valuations on later updates on the property price register, resulting in persons with virtually identical properties making two different returns and paying different rates under the LPT; his views on whether it is fair that two neighbours with very similar homes pay different LPT amounts purely on the basis of the information that is available to them at the time of their registration; and the way he proposes to address such inequities.
