Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 March 2015
290. Deputy Pat Deering asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money collected by the Revenue Commissioners including penalties, since they took responsibility for collecting the household charge, by county basis. [12103/15]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance data in relation to the Local Property Tax (LPT), including Household Charge, is 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. From the most recent statistics available, the Commissioners have confirmed that since Revenue took over responsibility for Household Charge collection from July 2013, around €41 million has been paid to Revenue (€2m in 2013, €36m in 2014 and €3m to February 2015). A breakdown of these receipts by county is not presently available.
