View answerI am advised 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 are available on the Commissioners' website at: http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/lpt-compliance.html. Updates to these statistics will be published in due course.
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 30 November 2014 are €449m. Exchequer receipts for LPT also include payments of Household Charge.
