NON PRINCIPAL PRIVATE RESIDENCE ( NPPR ) CHARGE

               OUTSTANDING LIABILITIES –NPPR CHARGE

The NPPR Charge applies to residential properties which are not used by the owner /s as his/her principal private or main residence e.g rental properties/holiday homes etc. The fact that a residential property is not occupied does not constitute an exemption fron this charge. The charge is levied on the ownership of property and not on occupancy. The liability period for the charge was between 2009-2013 but the charge including late payment fees still applies to liable properties which were not registered during that period  and also to accounts with arrears that were not discharged. The charge was abolished by the Government at the end of 2013 to be replaced by the Local Property Tax.
