The provisions of the scheme as set out in Section 102 of the Finance Bill as published on 4 February 2010, provide that the car being scrapped must be registered in the State in the name of the registered owner of the new car for at least 18 months previous to the date of scrappage; must be 10 years old or more from the date of first registration; must be scrapped on or after 10 December 2009; must be scrapped within 60 days of the date of the new car being registered, or have been scrapped within 60 days immediately before the date of the new car being registered; must have a valid NCT test certificate, or one that has expired no more than 90 days immediately before the date of scrappage or documentation to indicate that it has been presented for and failed an NCT roadworthiness test in the previous 6 months; must have been insured for use on the road in the name of the registered owner for at least 12 months in the 18 months immediately prior to the date of scrappage.
The legislation as published therefore requires that the person to whom the scrappage allowance is paid must be the same as the person to whom the policy of insurance is issued in respect of the car being scrapped.
