2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 26: Collection of Motor Taxation
Vote 20: An Garda Síochána
12:00 pm
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
If I may be helpful by referring to figure 26.4 on page 350 which shows a graphic indicating the number of motor tax exemption declarations over the period 2008 to 2011. It is broken down into the number of off the road declarations which are the ones involving members of the Garda Síochána. There are also declarations relating to change of ownership, in other words, a person stating he or she was not the owner of the vehicle at the time in a particular period and therefore not liable to pay tax. The number indicated for 2011 is probably about 780,000 declarations.
