I do not care if we are the only country in Europe not paying a property tax – it's not a club I have a desire to join — Eimear
Will not be paying. I paid over €50,000 in stamp duty 5 years ago. Pay me back the stamp duty, and I will pay any future property tax — Paul
I have no objection to paying this tax, and in fact I'm glad I can do my bit to help get this state back on its feet. I don't want German or French taxpayers to have to pay for Irish banks or for the Irish government and public services. who pays the piper calls the tune — Fergal
I’m tired of the argument that every other country in Europe pays a property tax.
Every country in Europe has not paid such a large amount for their home. Every other country in Europe has not been hammered with the universal social charge which in my opinion should be more than enough to cover my property, refuse, and water charges. Enough is enough — Irene Kealy
We've paid. We wish there had been a property tax a long time ago; things wouldn't have gotten so heated up. Local government might have taken on the role it is supposed to have rather than stuffing their coffers with money from developments then building themselves castles in which to work – Jane
Will not pay while we pay overinflated pensions to dubious ex-politicians and throwing good money into bust banks – DG
It's not a property charge, it's to pay the gambling bondholders who took a punt on Ireland and lost – John
Just pay up and shut up! Never heard so much rubbish and so many empty excuses. So what if you didn't get a piece of paper in the door about the charge and methodologies for paying? There has been so much discussion on the airwaves; there can't be anyone who doesn't know how to effect payment — Nuala McCormack
