    I presume that means an increase in utilities? Anyone care to explain what it is if I'm wrong.

    Goes to show the difference between the UK and here. In the UK they are cutting tax rates in an effort to stimulate growth, over here, it's just heap on more tax. Commercial rates in this country are absolutely punitive. We're going absolutely nowhere for as long as the solutions that we come up with to our economic problem is as hair brained as this....

    Dublin is'nt too bad im in Roscommon, we have the 3rd highest rates multiplier in the country (higher than Dublin) and its going up in the new year.
    And no its not for utilities its a council tax (like in the UK but just for businesses)we still have to pay for water and waste.

    Well i suppose its fair us buisness owners are rolling in it, if we didnt have to pay rates we would just end up frittering it away on luxuries like extra staff.
