I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the provisional increase in VRT and VAT on new registrations for 2014, compared to 2013, was €104m and €86m respectively. Those figures include the registrations of both new and used cars. The increase in VRT from new car sales was €88m while the increase in VAT was €63m.
It should be noted that the VAT figure is partially estimated and that all 2014 receipts are provisional at this time and may be subject to revision.
