Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1716. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the annual yield for motor tax projected for 2018; the yield for the past five years; the way these moneys were allocated; his plans for allocation of these funds for 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36657/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraA projection of motor tax receipts for 2018 has not yet been made but will be evaluated as part of the estimates process, taking into account the emerging pattern for 2017. Similarly, 2018 allocations from the Local Government Fund, to which income from motor tax accrues, will be considered during the estimates process.
The audited Local Government Fund accounts, which detail all income and expenditure of the fund (including income from motor tax), are available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/search/archived/archived/archived/current/type/publications?query=Local%20Government%20Fund%20Accounts. The accounts for 2016 are in the process of being finalised and will be published in due course.
The Estimate of Income and Expenditure of the Local Government Fund for 2016 and 2017 is available on page 174 of the Revised Estimates Volume published on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at the following link: http://www.per.gov.ie/en/rev/.
