Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2021
210. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Finance if he will address a matter raised in correspondence regarding the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5930/21]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the vehicle in question previously had diplomatic exemption from Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT), which was linked to the last owner.
To remove the diplomatic exemption from the vehicle and allow for the issue of a new Vehicle Registration Certificate, a Form VRT 19 was submitted to Revenue by the person in question in January 2020. Revenue subsequently processed the Form, and a new Vehicle Registration Certificate issued to the person from the Department of Tourism, Transport and Sport (Motor Tax Office) on 31 January 2020.
Revenue has confirmed that it has had no other contact with the person concerning the vehicle during the intervening period and is not aware of any outstanding issues. If the person has any further queries or concerns regarding the Vehicle Registration Certificate, he should contact the Department of Tourism, Transport and Sport.
