Setting Local Adjustment Factor for LPT

The Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as Amended) makes specific provision that elected members of a local authority may pass a formal resolution to vary the basic rate of the Local Property Tax for their administrative area by a percentage known as the Local Adjustment Factor (LAF). At the meeting set by Cork City Council to consider this matter, the members may set a LAF within the range of +/- 15% of the basic rate, or, may decide not to adjust the basic rate.

Cork City Council will meet in September 2024 to consider the setting of the local adjustment factor.

Prior to this meeting Cork City Council welcomes written submissions from the public on this matter specifically covering the potential effects of varying the basic rate of the Local Property Tax on businesses, individuals and on local authority services.

Online submissions can be made here

Hard copy written submissions can be sent to: Finance Department, Cork City Council, LPT Submissions, City Hall, Cork.

All Submissions must be received by close of business 27th August 2024.
