MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 33
QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott
To ask the Chief Executive if it is possible to provide a breakdown of commercial rate income by income bands in 2024?
REPLY:
South Dublin County Council’s commercial rates accounted for almost €146m in 2024. This was 43% of our budgeted income for the year and, as such, is an essential income stream for the Council. As you can see the majority of our rate accounts (49.3%) fall within the lowest band and pay less than €5,000 commercial rates per year.
The below table gives the breakdown of commercial rates accounts by income band for 2024
