View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the increase in VRT on new car registrations from January to September 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 is €87 million (+30%). The corresponding increase in VAT is €84 million (+32%). It should be noted that the VAT figure is partially estimated.
