Property Tax Bill For Entire Barracks Sent To Soldier

A solider has received a property tax bill for his entire Dublin barracks.

It is understood the bill address to the soldier listed his as the “owner or person liable” for the tax owed on Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin.

The Irish Times have reported that a photo of the bill, published on a private social media account, has since gone viral.

The paper also reported that the Revenue admitted some letters were sent in error.

“It is stated in the local property tax letter that, if you are not the owner of the property, you should contact Revenue on 1890-200255 so that we can correct our records.” it said.
