*Anyone who falls into this category must prove their income to the satisfaction of the Council.

If you fall into this category, please submit your details in writing to the council office.
In addition to the above:
1.Large families are entitled to a 25% discount and families with 3 children 10% for both assessments providing no other category of deduction applies. The reduction is subject to presentation of renewed large family cards or certificates relating to dependent children. If no large family card is available, birth certificates of all dependent children must be presented.
2.Vacant homes and homes under construction are excluded from the refuse tax. Houses uninhabited for some time will be judged individually.
3.For each additional vacant house to the main residence, an additional € 50 is payable if the taxpayer is taxed already for another house. (eg an owner is taxed on the residence where he lives €170 tax for community services and € 100 refuse. If he has another house which remains vacant the owner will pay another amount for community services of € 50.)
4.Single adults who work and live with their parents € 50. Those who are unemployed or are students are excluded.
5. Long standing dormant companies will be taxed €50 for each apartment.
These taxes can be paid in instalments. Please contact the Council Office before 18th December to discuss.
For those who have elected to pay by direct debit, payments will be taken on or around the 20th October. An exact date cannot be given as once the Council apply to the Banks, control is out of our hands. At the time of writing this newsletter, Tala Council is still waiting for acceptance on the JCC Smart system, so payment cannot yet be made online.
