Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
90. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Finance the amount of VRT and other tax liabilities collected on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners by NCT centres since a company (details supplied) was appointed to do so; when the tax collected by the company is transferred to the Revenue Commissioners; the amount outstanding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9068/20]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that Applus Car Testing Service Limited was appointed as a competent person by Revenue from 1 September 2010. Since this date, Applus Car Testing Services Limited has collected, on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners, a total of €1,246,614,802 comprising VRT €1,223,138,919 and VAT €23,475,883 (overwhelmingly relating to used imported vehicles). These taxes are paid to Revenue on the fifteenth day of the month following the month the vehicles are registered. I am further informed by Revenue that there are no outstanding amounts and, as the NCTS Centres have been closed since 28 March 2020, there are also no accumulated amounts.
