Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Proposed Changes to Local Property Tax: Discussion

Ms Anne Marie Walshe:

I think so. I will try my best to answer on the basis of what I heard. Regarding local authority housing and the payment of LPT, under the legislation, the liability for local authority housing falls in band 1. If it is a local authority social housing unit, it is charged at the €90 rate. This will remain unchanged under the Bill. With respect to the impact of the revaluation and the loss of funding, I refer to my earlier point about how the yield is to be distributed and that how 100% retention works at local authority level is a matter for the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
