Paschal Donohoe Minister for Finance Fine Gael

Revenue has provided a breakdown of LPT property owners, excluding AHBs and local authorities, from 2016 to date.

Revenue has further advised that, in relation to the answer to Parliamentary Question No. 470 on 4 November, there was an error in the table for 2018. The correct figures for 2018 are provided at the end of this answer. Revenue apologise for the error.

Correction to question No. 470 answered on 4 November 2025, regarding the table for 2018:

The following revised reply was received on 9 March 2026.

The breakdown of multi-property owners from 2016 to date is provided in the tables below.

I am advised by Revenue that the figures were extracted from the live LPT Register in January 2026. There is a separate category in the below tables for local authorities and seven of the largest Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs). These entities are categorised separately for operational reasons.

Public bodies, apart from local authorities, are not categorised separately on the LPT Register. It is not possible to provide data which comprehensively excludes all AHBs. Notwithstanding the fact that owner type detail is not comprehensively captured on Revenue records, as it is not required for administering the tax, I am advised by Revenue that the largest owner categories below (defined according to number of properties owned) include both public and private owners.

* An additional AHB was added to the statistical marker in 2021, expanding the number of AHBs from six to seven.
