View answerThe central national rates of LPT are 0.18% on values up to €1 million and 0.25% on any excess over €1 million. When I introduced the Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill to the House, I stated that the central rate would not vary for the lifetime of this Government. I have not considered any variation from this position.
