Thomas Gould

The requested information is outlined in the attached spreadsheet.

The information contained therein was collected by my Department further to the issuing of Circular Letter PL 03/2021 on 8 March 2021 requesting the submission of a progress report on the collection of the levy by each local authority.

It should be noted that the vacant site levy is collected in arrears. Accordingly, demands for levy payment in respect of 2020 were issued in 2021. The difference in the attached table between the amount of the initial levy demands issued for 2020 and the amount indicated as outstanding at the end of the year for 2020 can largely be explained by delays in the issuing of payment demands by local authorities, some of which can be attributed to Covid-19.
