Based on data supplied to the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government by local authorities, income from commercial rates is estimated to amount to €908 million in 2004 and €1 billion in 2005.
Rates are legally payable in two moieties; the first moiety and arrears are payable on the date of the making of the rate and the second moiety is payable on 1 July. Within this framework, it is also possible for arrangements to be agreed for payment of rates in instalments. The timing of the payment of rates to individual rating authorities may therefore be influenced by a number of factors, including the timing of the making of the rate, any instalment arrangements entered into with ratepayers, and the level of recovery of rates from defaulting ratepayers.
