The Immovable Property Tax (IPT) is calculated on the Land Registry’s assessment on the value of the property as at January 1 1980. The new tax bands as follows:

Your Property Value by Year 1980,  € New Tax Rates
Up to 40.000. 0,6% (€ 75 min)
40.000 – 120.000 0,8%
120.000 – 170.000 0,9%
170.000 – 300.000 1,10%
300.000 – 500.000 1,30%
500.000 – 800.000 1,50%
800.000  – 3.000.000 1,70%
3.000.000 + 1,90%

Taxpayers should be aware that the due date for payment of the property tax is by September 30 of each year. A penalty of 10% is applicable on the tax due for late payment. If the tax is paid 30 or more days before the deadline, a discount of 10% of the tax owed is provided.
