Budget Statement 2006
4:00 pm
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I would like to mention a number of measures in the fiscal area which I am bringing forward.
Environmental taxation
In the case of vehicle registration tax, I intend to change the current rating system to relate it more closely to environmental policy objectives, in this case reducing carbon dioxide emissions. I intend that there should be some reward in the VRT system for choosing lower-emission vehicles, and that those choosing higher-emission vehicles should pay more.
