I cant find the letter from Revenue, but as I said it just said theres nothing that they can do. No legislation or reason was given. Think I may try send them another letter as I find it hard to believe they cant change my tax band and it is incorrect charging me at the higher rate.
See faqs on the LPT website and this in particular:
1.4 After completion of the sale: If I decide that the valuation declared by the vendor was too high, what should I do?

I bought my house in mid 2014. My solicitor said I had to pay half the property tax for 2014, which was grand and it had to be paid to her before I got the keys. So that was all paid and she sorted it out
