Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2012
424. Deputy Peter Mathews asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his views on a matter (details supplied) in respect of the proposed property charge; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44576/12]
View answerAn independently-chaired Inter-Departmental Expert Group was established to consider the structures and modalities for an equitable local property tax to replace the household charge.
The Group submitted its report to me and proposals will be brought to Government as soon as possible. It will then be a matter for the Government to decide on the exact details of implementation taking into account the modalities involved including what exemptions might apply. The Government has decided that the local property tax will be collected and administered by the Revenue Commissioners.
