Amharc ar fhreagraAn interdepartmental Low-Emitting Vehicles (LEV) taskforce has been established to consider a full suite of potential measures to expedite the deployment of low carbon technologies, particularly electric vehicles, under a commitment outlined in the Programme for a Partnership Government.
One of the potential policy instruments being considered by the taskforce is the role of taxation, including benefit-in-kind, to assist in the accelerated adoption of electric vehicles. It is expected that recommendations from the taskforce will be presented to the Government later this year.
