154 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the total expected receipts for the entire motor industry by way of VRT excise duty, VAT or other taxation including road tolls; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2691/05]
View answerI am not in a position to give the total expected receipts for 2005 in respect of the entire motor industry. However, according to the Revenue Commissioners, the estimated yield in 2004, from the motor industry in terms of VAT, excise and vehicle registration tax is shown in the tables.

The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government reports that receipts for annual road tax for 2004 were approximately €750 million. The Department of Transport informs me that income from road tolls to the Exchequer was €8 million for 2004, with VAT receipts of approximately €10 million. Expected receipts for 2005 in respect of annual road tax and road tolls will be published in the Revised Estimates Volume.
