Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 48 to 50, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of category A new vehicles registered for Vehicle Registration Tax and the Vehicle Registration Tax receipts from category A new vehicles registered for Vehicle Registration Tax, from 1993 to September 2011 are shown in the Table below.

I am also informed by the Revenue Commissioners that VAT returns do not require the yield from a particular sector or sub-sector of trade to be identified. The figures provided in the Table below for VAT receipts are estimates of the yield of VAT from the sale of all motor vehicles from 1993 to 2010. A corresponding estimate of the figure for 2011 is not yet available.
