An independently-chaired Inter-Departmental Expert Group was established to consider the structures and modalities for an equitable local property tax to replace the household charge.

The Group has submitted its report to me and proposals will be brought to Government as soon as possible. It will then be a matter for the Government to decide on the exact details of implementation taking into account all of the modalities involved. The Government has decided that the local property tax will be collected and administered by the Revenue Commissioners.
