As the Deputy is aware, the Government decided that without prejudice to the policy decisions, the Revenue Commissioners will be responsible for collecting the Local Property Tax when it is introduced. The Revenue Commissioners are actively planning for the implementation of the tax to include collection mechanisms from all liable persons.
The details of the administration of Local Property Tax will be announced by me on Budget Day and, will be underpinned by legislation which I will propose to the House.
The Household Charge is a matter for my colleague the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Local Government Management Agency. The future of the Household Charge will be decided by Government in due course.
