Ireland's zoned land tax yields €60m in first year, concentrated in Dublin region

Ireland's new residential zoned land tax generated €60 million in its first year, with nine local authorities in Dublin, Cork, Meath, Kildare, and Wicklow accounting for ~80% of liability. The tax, aimed at encouraging development on serviced land, is controversial but early data shows significant revenue concentration in high-demand areas. Uncertainty remains over its long-term impact on land supply and housing prices.
