MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 10, 2012

QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager for the up-to-date figure on the percentage of eligible households in the County which have paid the 2011 Household Charge to date?

REPLY:

The following is the postiion in relation to the Household  Charge as at the 3/12/2012:

Properties Paid Waivers Total Paid + Waivers Estimated Liable CSO %
52,033 414 52,447       81,822 64.10%

The Local Authorities have been informed that a target of 65% must be achieved to avoid a reduction in their allocation of the  Local Government Fund. Therefore, the total number of properties which have either to pay or have waivers must reach 53,184 (i.e. 737 properties outstanding). Should this Council's collection not reach the 65% ,  the Local Government Fund will be reduced by €84,820.00
