Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
1091. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will clarify a taxation issue (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38181/15]
View answerFollowing the Court of Appeal ruling on the taxation of articulated vehicles, such vehicles now fall to be taxed at the haulage tractor rate. The annual rate is €333. Given that there is a single rate for this tax class, there is no requirement to have the vehicles in question reweighed. The necessary technical adjustments to the National Vehicle and Driver File have now been put in place and representative organisations for the haulage industry have been notified of the changes. The implications of the ruling in the case, more generally, are currently being considered by my Department.
