Some 400,000 Households Still To Pay Charge
The Revenue Commissioners are preparing to try and identify some 400,000 households who have still not paid the household charge.
Local authorities will hand over a database to the Revenue Commissioners that will help identify the non-payers.
The latest figures show that out of an estimated 1.6 million liable households, around 1.2 million, approximately 73%, have paid so far.
The remaining now have less than 90 days to make the payment before local authorities pass on their register to the Revenue Commissioners.
The charge will increase to @145 in May, but those who pay by April 30th will have the fee capped at €130 – the original charge plus €30 in arrears and penalties.
