The Provincial Revenue Office has extended the deadline for automating household IBI payments until February 14th. Paying by direct debit is one of the requirements to qualify for a grant to reduce the IBI (Rates) bill by up to 50 percent.
As well as having a domiciled (direct debit) payment system in place for IBI, taxpayers must be registered in the home, be up to date with their obligations to the Provincial Revenue Office and the homes must have an assessed value of less than 100,000 euros.
Those who meet these requirements will be eligible for a grant without having to request it.
