Fógra faoi rátaí tráchtála
Tugtar fógra leis seo de réir Alt 3 de na Rialacháin um Rátaí Rialtais Áitiúil (Nósanna Imeachta Airgeadais) 2023 gurb é €0.2198 an Ráta Bliantúil ar an Luacháil (ARV) le haghaidh gach réadmhaoin inrátaithe laistigh d’údarás rátúcháin Chomhairle Chontae Uíbh Fhailí don bhliain airgeadais dar tosach an 1 Eanáir 2024 agus dar críoch an 31 Nollaig 2024.
Faoi reachtaíocht nua, tá roinnt mhaith athruithe á ndéanamh a mbeidh tionchar ar gach íocóir rátaí ó 2024 i leith. Is iad seo a leanas na cinn is suntasaí díobh:
– Ag tosú in 2024, tá Rátaí Tráchtála dlite anois ón 1 Eanáir agus iníoctha mar mhuirear aonair. Leanfaidh Comhairle Chontae Uíbh Fhailí ag éascú íocaíochtaí míosúla ar iarratas, áfach.
– Beidh gach leasú ar an liosta luachála i bhfeidhm láithreach (.i. athbhreithnithe, breisithe & baint, mar aon le hathomhairc).
Beidh foráil ann anois do dhliteanas pro-rata agus billeáil sa chás go dtagann deireadh le sealbhú nó nuair a thosaíonn sé i lár na bliana.
– Mar réamhfhógra agus de réir na reachtaíochta nua, beidh táillí úis infheidhmithe ón 1 Eanáir 2026 ar bhillí Rátaí Tráchtála 2025 nach mbeidh íoctha. Cuirfear tuilleadh eolais ar fáil faoi seo in am trátha.
