I think that your post should read that anyone who has purchased in 2009 does not have to pay their Non Residents Income Tax until December 2010.
Don't necessarily assume that you will be contacted by your solicitor. Also, you do not have to use a solicitor to do this, you can complete the forms & pay it yourself.
If you check the main forum on EOS you will find a thread about Form 210 which explains it all.
