NPPR Liability Date

Liability to pay the NPPR charge is determined by the status of property on a single day each year. This date, which is termed the 'liability date' was set as:

The status of the property on each liability date determines whether the charge of €200 is payable or not for that particular year.
 

Penalties:

• If payment is not made within the payment period each year a late payment fee of €20 applies for each month or part of month during which the charge for each year remains unpaid. Late payment fees continue to accumulate as long as the charge remains unpaid and the amount involved can be substantial.  
• NPPR charges and late payment fee liabilities unpaid after 1st September 2014 will incur a further late payment fee of €120, in respect of each liability date. 
• NPPR charges and late payment fee liabilities unpaid at the 1st September 2014, including the additional amount(s) of €120 above, will be increased by 50% on that date.
