I propose to take Questions Nos. 210 and 226 together.
I am advised by Revenue 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. This includes receipts information in respect of 2013 to 2015 available at http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/lpt/lpt-stats-2013-2015.pdf and to end June 2016 is available at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/local-property-tax-june2016.pdf. Updates to these statistics will be provided in due course.
In relation to Question 24453/16, LPT information in respect of owners of in excess of 201 multiple properties is included in the statistics on the Revenue website. I am advised that, due to the still preliminary nature of the Revenue LPT register, any such figure is provisional and subject to change. However, I am advised by Revenue that it is estimated that the number of liable persons owning more than 200 properties is approximately 50.
Question No. 211 answered with Question No. 198.
