Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 17:

In page 171, to delete line 22.

On Committee Stage, my colleague Deputy Doherty was broadly supportive of the proposed changes to VRT, specifically the proposal to allow individuals to claim back a portion of tax on vehicles brought into the State and sold outside the State. Deputy Doherty is very keen that the proposed €500 charge for the facility be removed as their is clearly no logical or fair basis for the charge. This is what the amendments to the relevant section aim to achieve.
