While my Department is developing proposals for the consolidation of rating law, rates are currently levied by local authorities under a broad statutory framework. The specific legislation, applied as appropriate by the relevant local authorities, is set out below.
Local authorities levy rates on rateable properties in accordance with the property valuations contained in the valuation lists which are prepared by the Commissioner of Valuation under the Valuation Act 2001. That Act is the responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Finance.
