Finance
One of the goals of Nenagh Town Council is to ensure that all activities of this Council are based on sound business management practices. In all areas of service provision it is essential that the financial resources are maximised and used efficiently and that value for money is obtained so as to enable the Council to give the best possible service to our customers.
The management of resources is not a function of any one section of the Council. Budgets are developed and it therefore a concern of all staff at all levels. It is the function of the Finance Department to assist and provide the necessary data so that staff can manage these resources. The Finance Section is responsible for ensuring that adequate financial accounting/management systems are in place.
The annual Revenue Budget sets out the budgetary framework for the day to day operational activities of the Council within the financial resources available. It is normally prepared and adopted during the period November to December in respect of the following year.
One of the major sources of funding at local level is the commercial rate. This is payable on all commercial/industrial property based on the annual rate on valuation adopted at the Budget Meeting of the Council and the valuation of the premises as determined by the Commissioner of Valuation. The Council does not have power to set valuations - property is listed for revision to the Valuation Office and property holders are advised of the valuation placed on the property and their rights of appeal against same.
