Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 April 2011
264 Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the overall amount of moneys collected through local authority rates for each of the years from 2000 to 2010 and if he will provide this information on a local authority basis. [7356/11]
Amharc ar fhreagra270 Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will quantify the amount of commercial rates outstanding to local authorities as at 31 March 2011; if he will consider the introduction of measures to assist hard pressed ratepayers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7590/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 264 and 270 together.
The table shows the total rates income and that for each local authority for each of the years from 2000 to 2009. Data are taken from annual Local Authority Financial Outturn Publications. 2010 data are not yet available.
In the years 2000 to 2003 local authorities published their accounts on a cash accounting basis, while from 2004 onwards accruals based accounting is used. The figures are therefore not directly comparable across all years.
Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to levy rates on any property used for commercial purposes in accordance with the details entered in the valuation lists prepared by the independent Commissioner of Valuation under the Valuation Act 2001. I have no direct involvement in the collection of rates, which is a matter for each individual local authority.
