View answerData in relation to the implementation of the vacant site levy by local authorities is collected by my Department a year in arrears. The most recent data available in my Department in this regard is in respect of the year 2021. The Table below indicates the number of sites by local authority area which were liable to the vacant site levy in 2021 in respect of 2020. Sites are required to be on the register for a full calendar year before they can be levied. It is intended to request local authorities to submit their vacant site levy returns in respect of 2022 next month.
