Written answers

Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to levy rates on any property used for commercial purposes in accordance with the details entered in the valuation lists prepared by the independent Commissioner of Valuation under the Valuation Act 2001.

The levying and collection of rates are matters for each individual local authority.  The annual rate on valuation (ARV), which is applied to the valuation for each property, determined by the Valuation Office, to obtain the amount payable in rates, is decided by the elected members of each local authority in the annual budget and its determination is a reserved function.

The Commissioner for Valuation has sole responsibility for all valuation matters. The Valuation Act 2001 comes under the aegis of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Annual Rates on Valuation are not banded and are not directly associated with business type.

The 2013 Annual Rate on Valuation in respect of each local authority is set out in the following table.
