In relation to the Living City Initiative, applications are only required to be made to the relevant local authority under the residential element of the scheme. Applications are not required to be made under the commercial element of the scheme. Additionally, Revenue do not compile statistics in relation to unsuccessful residential applications.
Based on information received from the City and County Councils to date, the number of successful applications received under the residential element of the Living City Initiative, per eligible city, is as follows:
City | Applications Received |
---|---|
Dublin | 19 |
Cork | 8 |
Limerick | 0 |
Waterford | 8 |
Kilkenny | 4 |
Galway | 2 |
Details of the numbers participating in the commercial element of the scheme should become available in early 2017 by which stage the tax returns for 2015 will be filed and processed. This is also the earliest date by which information in relation to the amount of tax relief claimed under the scheme will be available.
