I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance data in relation to the Local Property Tax (LPT) is available broken down by city and county councils nationally and the most up to date figures for LPT collected in 2013 and 2014 were published in July 2014 on the Commissioners' website at: I am also advised that the Commissioners do not break the LPT statistics down to postal district level.

The Commissioners have confirmed that by the end of December 2013, €318m had been transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer in respect of LPT and the 2014 LPT Exchequer receipts to 31 August 2014 are €363m. Exchequer receipts for LPT also include payments of Household Charge.

I am further advised by the Commissioners that they intend to publish updated compliance statistics in due course.
