How Much is The Property Tax in 2016 ?

Under Property Tax regulations – from 2015 onwards – local Councils could  adjust the annual property tax rates, up or down each year, by as much as 15% from the base rate. All the decisions for 2016 had to be made by September 30th 2015 – and these are the results of all the local authorities decisions on the Property  Tax for 2016 .  None of the local authorities voted to charge more than the rate set by government.

The following local authorities have decided to make the maximum 15% cut to LPT again in 2016

Clare County Council
