QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor D. Adelaide

To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the Annual Rate of Valuation used to calculate commercial rates for each year between 2006-2025 inclusive.

REPLY:

To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the Annual Rate of Valuation used to calculate commercial rates for each year between 2006-2025 inclusive.

The total income from Rates is calculated as follows:

Total Expenditure (2025)                                                             €391,942,200

Less income from Grants, Goods & Services & LPT                         €238,772,000

Rates to be Levied                                                                      €153,170,200     

The amount of Rates to be levied is divided by the Valuation for the County, which is determined by Tailte Eireann, and this determines the Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV). The Annual Rate of Valuation is decided by the Elected Members of the Council at its Annual Budget meeting. Details of this calculation are provided in “Table A” of the budget book for each year

The Annual Rate of Valuation for SDCC from 2006-2025 was calculated as follows:
