Annual Revenue Budget
Dublin City Council is required to prepare and adopt a budget for its revenue expenses and incomes each year. Find current and previous Revenue Budgets below which outline Dublin City Council's estimated income, operational spending and service area allocations.
Sections 102 and 103 of the Local Government Act 2001 specify the financial procedures governing:
- the preparation of the budget
- the Budget Meeting
The Council Revenue Budget is funded from the following sources:
- Commercial rates
- Local Property Tax
- Government grants
- Irish Water
- Pension contributions
- Income from goods and services
A service division classifies income and expenditure in the annual budget. The budget is drafted by the Chief Executive in consultation with the Corporate Policy Group. However, a local authority is not bound to accept the budget prepared by the Chief Executive and may adopt a budget with or without amendment. In the adopted budget, the Annual Rate on Valuation is determined to finance the deficiency in the funds of the authority, i.e. the part of the authority's expenditure not met by State grants and miscellaneous receipts.
