THE €100 a year household charge is likely to be replaced in a little more than a year by a comprehensive property tax.
The property tax will be on a graduated scale based on the size or value of a house and the details are due to be worked out over the next few months.
The Cabinet agreed to proceed to a quick decision on the basis of the report from the expert group with a view to having a comprehensive property tax system in place by 2013.
Whatever system is agreed by the Government, most householders will have to pay considerably more than the €100 flat charge for 2012 which is due to be paid by the end of next March.
Oh.
