Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 4 May 2016
294. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the revenue generated by the collection of commercial rates, as determined by the national Valuation Office, in each of the local authorities, in tabular form. [8960/16]
View answerThe 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 latest available audited local authority financial statements relate to 2014. The following table includes details of commercial rates collected, as reported by local authorities in Appendix 7 of their individual audited financial statements. It should be noted that the amounts collected may include arrears. As a matter of course, every local authority publishes its annual audited financial statement on its website.
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.
