Commercial Rates Data
645. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the amount received by Offaly County Council from commercial rates in each of the past three years and to date in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47130/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe levying and collection of rates are matters for each individual local authority. The annual rate on valuation (ARV), which is applied to the valuation for each property determined by the Valuation Office, to obtain the amount payable in rates, is decided by the elected members of each local authority during the annual budget process.
Rates income data are published by local authorities in their Annual Financial Statements, which are published as a matter of course on local authority websites. 2018 is the latest year for which audited local authority Annual Financial Statement data are available.
The rates collected by Offaly County Council from 2016 to 2018 are set out in the following table.
