MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 2
QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney
To ask the Manager to provide a report on the amounts collected via the NPPR in 2009, 2010 and to date in 2011; to determine the cost to the Council of administering and advertising the charge; and to make a statement on the matter.
REPLY:
The NPPR Section of the Local Government Management Agency administers the collection of the NPPR charge on behalf of most local authorities including South Dublin County Council.
The Liability date for the 2011 charge was 31st March 2011. The Non Principal Private Residence charge is self assessed but it is important to note that persons liable for the charge but who had not paid by the 30th. June 2011 incur penalty charges at the rate of € 20 per month until the charge is paid.
The following are the amounts received and the costs incurred for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 (to 1 July). The income for 2011 reflects receipts which had been processed by the national NPPR bureau at 1 July 2011 but does not include the back log of registrations and renewals that are lodged in the final days of June. The value of these can be considerable as many pay the NPPR bureau as late as possible before penalties are incurred resulting in a delay before the income to 30th June can be confirmed.
