Question 906: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will confirm the cost of the household charge or property tax over the next three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19068/12]

The household charge is being administered by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) on a shared service/agency basis on behalf of all county and city councils. The costs arising are a matter for the LGMA and the county and city councils.
I have established an Inter-Departmental Group on Property Tax to consider the structures and modalities for an equitable valuation based property tax. The Group will complete its work and make recommendations to me shortly. Following consideration of the Group's recommendations, I will bring proposals to Government on the full property tax as soon as possible. It will then be a matter for the Government to decide on the structure and modalities of the full property tax.
