Donegal County Council saw a 1% increase in the rates collected from businesses last year.
81% of commercial rates were collected, amounting to a net value of almost €39.5 million.
In 2023 a new arrangement was made for the collection of commercial rates.
Since then collections increased from 78% to 81%.
The value of cash collected from commercial rates increased last year by €795,000 from the year previous, which has a net value of over €38.5 million.
The 2025 rates bills were updated with new property values from the 2024 Revaluation.
Two-thirds of properties in Donegal saw their valuations fall, which helped improve the annual collection rate.
