I will convey to the Minister for Finance the Deputy's request to be kept up to date.

As I indicated in my opening remarks, there has been no change in the legislation, or Revenue's interpretation of same, relating to the benefit-in-kind charge that is applicable on employer-provided vehicles or the exemption relating to the pooling of cars or vans. However, the nature of this Topical Issue and the number of parliamentary questions that have been received on the issue suggest that there has been a change in how such matters are being treated by the HSE. Consequently, Department of Finance officials intend to engage with the HSE to establish whether any changes have arisen on its side as regards the provision of employer-provided vehicles and-or the application of the benefit-in-kind charge in the context of pooled vehicles taken home at night by the aforementioned National Ambulance Service staff.
