Kildare County Council is empowered to vary the base level of the levy by +/-15%
Kildare people can contribute to a public consultation on the rate of Local Property Tax next year until Friday.
Changes announced by Government in May mean that 7,400 homes in the county, built since 2013, will be brought in to the tax net for the first time.
Kildare County Council is empowered to vary the base level of the levy by +/-15% , or it can elect to make no change.
The charge period for Local Property Tax runs from November 1st to October 31st.
Any variation is effective for that one year period, after which the rate reverts back to the original basic rate unless a further decision on a local variation is made by the Elected Members.
The Council will meet later this month to consider the setting of a local adjustment factor for the year 2022
Members must decide whether to retain the base rate of LPT or to either increase or decrease the rate of LPT.
The options available to the Elected Members for 2022 are:
(1) Retain the basic rate of the value of the property – i.e. no variation.
(2) Decrease the rate between 1-15% below the basic rate of 0.1029% of the value of the property based on the new bands
(3) Increase the rate between 1-15% above the basic rate of 0.1029% of the value of the property of the new bands
KCC says it "welcomes written submissions from the public on this matter specifically covering the potential effects of varying the basic rate, or retaining the existing rate, of the Local Property Tax on businesses, individuals and on local authority services."
Submissions must be received by Friday, 9 July 2021 at 5:00 p.m. and may be made using one of the following methods:
By post to: Local Property Tax Submissions, Finance Section, Kildare County Council, Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co. Kildare,
By email to: lptsubs@kildarecoco.ie
