The Revenue Commissioners has extended the deadline to pay the 2012 Household Charge and 2013 Local Property Tax until 5pm on Wednesday 2nd April.
The original deadline was today.
Revenue said it had received 10,000 calls this morning from people trying to pay the tax today.
It said: "Property owners seem now to be acting on the fact that the Household Charge, which was initially €100 and increased to €200 last July, will only increase further to €213 by the end of April if it is ignored."
