Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 February 2014
366. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a county breakdown of collection rates for commercial rates in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6170/14]
View answerThe 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 finalising its annual budget.
Rates income data are published by local authorities in their Annual Financial Statements. 2011 is the latest year for which audited local authority Annual Financial Statement data are available. The Local Government Audit Service is currently undertaking the audit of the 2012 Annual Financial Statements which should be completed shortly.
