Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2025
499. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total commercial rates intake from businesses in the town of Kiltimagh, County Mayo by Mayo County Council, in the most recent year and for each of the previous five years. [57358/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraLocal authorities are under a statutory obligation to levy rates on any property used for commercial purposes in accordance with the details entered in the valuation lists prepared by Tailte Éireann under the Valuation Act 2001, as amended. The levying and collection of rates are matters for each individual local authority.
Information in relation to the collection of commercial rates is available in the Income and Expenditure Account and in Appendix 7 of each local authority's Annual Financial Statement (AFS). 2023 is the latest year for which audited local authority annual financial statement data is available.
Rates income reported in a local authority's AFS is not analysed by geographical area. Therefore the information requested in relation to rates income from businesses in kiltimagh, Co. Mayo is not available in my Department.
