Property Tax / Planning contributions

[DJF]

Hi All

We have just received planning for conditions with 5k of contributions to Kerry C.C.. The conditions do however state the following:

"The amount of the contribution is calculated in accordance with the councils prevailing development contribution scheme and will be increased from January 1st 2013 and annually thereafter in line with the wholesale price index, unless the scheme is superseded by a further development contribution scheme adopted by the council"

I have looked into it but don't seem to be find confirmation from the goverment as to how the household charge / property tax will affect contributions, past, current or future contributions, if at all.

Would anyone know how this is to be addressed and if the contribution scheme will definitely be superseded by the property tax?

Thanks in advance

Dan

There is no link between the planning contribution and the property tax,

Its nearly going to be like the contribution is a charge for been added to the system, the property tax will be for use of the system...... You will always have both

Doubt it very much.

A bit like VRT and car tax.

Am very envious of your €5k CC. It's €15k up in Dublin!!
