Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I have also decided to extend the VRT relief for series production hybrid and flexible fuel vehicles for two years to end-2012. The rate of relief provided will be up to €1,500. The VRT relief for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles will continue at up to €2,500 until 31 December 2012.

A review will be undertaken of the excise duty payable for licences for on-trade and off-licence sales of alcohol products during 2011 to ensure that the system is both transparent and fair.

I am making the necessary arrangements to ensure that bets placed on the Internet by domestic punters are subject to the same level of betting duty as applies in main street betting shops. Details are set out in an annex in the accompanying documentation.

Full details of these measures and related measures are contained in the summary of budget measures.
