Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 July 2020
248. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the estimated full-year revenue in 2021 that would be raised by introducing a non-principal private residence charge of €400 on properties indicated as such by owners in local property tax returns and including commercial landlords but excluding local authorities and approved housing bodies.

View answerI am informed by Revenue that the Ready Reckoner, available at https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf, shows the estimated amounts that could be raised by a charge on non-principal private residences (indicated as such by owners in their LPT returns). The Ready Reckoner shows the yield from a €100 per property charge and the yield from a €400 charge can be estimated on a pro-rata or straight line basis.
