QUESTION NO. 31

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm how much revenue is generated from commercial rate payers who operate their businesses within SDCC for the first six months of 2021 and how much is lost or outstanding due to Covid?

REPLY:

Commercial Rates generated €131,764,939 in income in 2021 for South Dublin County Council. For 6 months this would amount to €65,882,469.50.

In January 2021 the Government announced a new waiver for Commercial Rates for the first quarter of 2021. The value of the waiver was the equivalent of 25% of the annual rates bill for 2021 for qualifying customers. This waiver was subsequently extended for the second and third quarters of 2021. To date €24,636,633 has been applied in waivers.

There is currently €36,155,739 in Commercial Rates outstanding.
