I propose to take Questions Nos. 296 and 301 to 304, inclusive, together.
In relation to Question 3391-15, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Local Property Tax (LPT) is forecast to collect €440 million in 2015.
With reference to Questions 33452-15, 33453-15 and 33454-15, I am further advised that LPT statistical data are available from the statistics webpage of the Revenue Commissioners' website at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. Specifically, information concerning the total revenue collected in 2014 as well as the numbers of persons claiming exemptions and deferrals can be accessed at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/lpt-compliance.html.
Finally, with regards to Question 33455-15, I am advised that the number of properties which returned a valuation in the greater than €1 million valuation band is also available from the aforementioned statistical publication. However, a breakdown of the revenue generated by the higher rate is not available.
