This House will debate the Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill 2012 this evening, which it is estimated will raise ¤200 million in six months and approximately ¤500 million in a full year. Almost every household in the country will contribute to this. The amount raised by this tax in one year will be less than that spent on carer's benefit. The entire property tax take in this country in one full year will be less than the ¤600 million spent on carers by this Government.
