Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The levying and collection of rates are matters for each individual local authority. The annual rate on valuation (ARV), which is applied to the valuation for each property determined by the Valuation Office, to obtain the amount payable in rates, is decided by the elected members of each local authority during the annual budget process. The information requested is set out in the following tables. The figures relate to the amount of commercial rates accrued, collected and written off, as reported by local authorities in Appendix 7 of their individual audited financial statements. It should be noted that the amounts collected and written off may include arrears. The latest available audited information relates to 2013. As a matter of course, every local authority publishes its annual audited financial statement on their websites.

As with all local charges, the invoicing and collection of due amounts is a matter for the local authority concerned to manage in light of prevailing circumstances and in accordance with normal accountancy procedures.
