Latest Household Charge Figures
Latest figures for the household charge show that 920,000 have registered to date.
The Local Government Management Agency, which is administering the charge, said 921,568 properties had been registered by noon yesterday. The figure included some 206,000 postal registrations, which were yet to be processed.
An estimated 1.6 million properties were eligible for the charge, which was expected to generate some €160 million to go towards local authority funding. The latest figures suggest €92 million has been collected so far.
Some 74 per cent of properties were registered online and 15,159 households qualified for a waiver.
In 2011 exchequer funding was €164 million; in 2012 this was to be replaced by the household charge to the tune of €160 million.
