Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 September 2014
183. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Finance if he will confirm the Revenue Commissioners' intention to provide publicly to local authorities a breakdown, on an estate-by-estate level, the total local property tax receipts received for 2013 and to date in 2014. [35880/14]
View answerI 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 in July 2014 on the Commissioners' website at: Local Property Tax Statistics July 2014 (PDF 192KB). I am also advised that the Commissioners do not break the LPT statistics down to estate level.
The Commissioners have confirmed that by the end of December 2013, €318m had been transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer in respect of LPT and the 2014 LPT Exchequer receipts to 31 August 2014 are €363m. Exchequer receipts for LPT also include payments of the Household Charge.
I am further advised by the Commissioners that they intend to publish updated compliance statistics in due course.
