So did I, but it didn't stop me noticing the introduction of NPPR charge and paying it, even though I don't even live in Ireland!
The charge itself - 200 euro per year - is NOT extortionate (yet), it's actually quite small. As to late payment fines - it's very easy to avoid them - just by paying the charge on time
If I were your friend I would forth with send a registered letter with 3 cheques for each year of the NPPR, clearly stating that the amounts are for the NPPR for each year and then he will be paying them by instalment (say 20 euro a month) until the penalty is cleared and asking can he do this by direct debit. Then the penalty stops increasing and he tackles the arrears.
Same story as Greta here, many years abroad and NPPR paid on time. No problem paying it either, just hope the money wasn't wasted by the county council. They clean the roads, provide as much water as one wants and empty the bins etc. Someone has to pay for those services.
The PRTB thing is what scared me, lot scarier than the NPPR. Which I didn't fully realise at the time even though I began to register in 2005 (prior to the mortgage interest rule)

Do you seriously think they actually make money by charging you 3 quid a bag and collect it at your doorstep ? Try doing it yourself and bring the rubbish to the dump once a week. Cost of time, travel and dumping would be a lot more.I have to buy tokens to get my bins emptied.

if a couple have two houses.
Each run as a holiday guest house
Business, insurance, secuity etc demand one spouse live in each house
Is NPPR chargeable on either of these houses ?
Anyone who fails to pay faces court proceedings, while the onus is on the owners to establish whether they are liable for the tax.
