  5. Why a Revaluation? • Rates = tax based on property rental values • Correctness, Equity and Uniformity • Differential movement in rental values over time • Rental values do not change at the same pace • Restore relativity between properties, categories & locations based on Net Annual Value (NAV) • Transparency – reflect current market rental values • Independent and objective outcome • Rolling revaluation: every 5-10 years

  6. Impact on Rates Income of Local Authority? • It’s about Redistribution of rates liability • Revenue neutral: No impact on first year • Rates Cap (Sec. 56 Valuation Act 2001, as amended) • Any increase in overall Rates Income limited to: • Inflation • New developments • Improvements to existing buildings

  7. How Revaluation affects the Rating System • Before Revaluation: • Rates Liability = RV (in nominal terms) x Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV) • After Revaluation: • Rates Liability = NAV x ARV • Net Annual Value (NAV) • Set by Valuation Office through revaluation every 5-10 years • Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV) • Set by Local Authority each year

  8. Dublin City Council Example • Before Revaluation: • RV = €120xARV (2012) = 61.19 • Rates = €7,342 • After Revaluation: • NAV = €27,500xARV (2015) = 0.2557 • Rates = €7,032

  9. Revaluation Outcomes • Three possibilities: • No change • Decrease • Increase • Depends on movement of Rental Values relative to rental values of other properties
