Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 216 and 217 together.
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that statistics relating to Local Property Tax (LPT) can be found on the statistics webpage of the Revenue website at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. Specifically, LPT data are available at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/lpt-compliance.html.
A breakdown showing compliance rates by local authority is available at the above cited webpage. This confirms that, for 2015, returns are filed for around 16,400 and 33,800 properties in Longford and Westmeath respectively. These equate to estimated compliance rates of 94.4% and 94.7%.
In addition, the webpage has a breakdown showing cost of exemptions by local authority. However, further breakdowns are not available on the number of properties exempt by local authority.
Updates to this information will be provided in due course.
