View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 139, 143 and 144 together.
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance data in relation to Local Property Tax (LPT) are only available broken down by city and county councils nationally, not by individual towns or by numbers of residents, and the most up to date figures available are published on the Commissioners website at: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/lpt/lpt-preliminary-data.pdf. To answer Deputy McLellan’s question and as can be seen from the latest figures available at the link provided, the amount of LPT declared and paid for Cork City and County as of 23 July 2013 is as follows:
|
Local authority |
LPT declared as of 23 July 2013 |
LPT paid as of 23 July 2013 |
|
Cork City |
€ 5,330,718 |
€4,105,938 |
|
Cork County |
€19,549,739 |
€15,105,636 |
Work is ongoing to refine the LPT register and more up-to-date details will be published in due course. The Commissioners also advise that, as data are compiled on the basis of the number of properties, data in relation to the number of residents are not available.
