254. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide in tabular form the total amount of the local property tax in every local authority area from 2009 to 2014; the amount collected in each local authority from 2009 to 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Deputy will be aware that Local Property Tax (LPT) statistics are only available for 2013 and 2014 as LPT was introduced in July 2013.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance data in relation to the Local Property Tax (LPT) is available broken down by city and county councils nationally and the most up to date figures for LPT collected in 2013 and 2014 were published on 18 July 2014 on the Commissioners' website at: Local Property Tax Preliminary Compliance Data as at July 2014 (PDF, 332KB). The Commissioners have confirmed that by the end of December 2013, €318m had been transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer in respect of LPT. Of this amount, €242m was in respect of LPT for 2013 and €76m relates to 2014 LPT. By the end of August 2014, a further €363m was transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer.
