Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Property Tax: Discussion with Revenue

4:20 pm

Ms Josephine Feehily:

I am sure it has been done but I do not have the information. It was not relevant for me to know how much. We examined compliance rates. We certainly have files on who has paid and who has not and compliance rates have been increasing, but the comparison the Deputy asked about is not valid because the base is different. The household charge had waivers for certain categories and the property tax does not.
