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 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 the modalities involved including what exemptions might apply. The Government has decided that the local property tax will be collected and administered by the Revenue Commissioners.
