Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: We know where that is heading. We have almost completed our consideration of this. There is a point we would be very remiss not to address. The witness has given us those answers directly and in an upfront fashion, which is great. It will save him the bother of coming back to us. When the report was compiled, the percentage of taxpayers who paid online was 67%. It is now 74% and is...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: How much extra does it cost a motorist to pay his or her taxes by the quarter? Let us consider the older and bigger cars. If there is a €10 processing cost per transaction, it probably costs more to pay taxes three or four times a year than it does to settle them once a year. We are informed that 75% of people are paying online and that the cost of the transaction is €5. Can...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: Not only do we levy a poverty tax from people who cannot afford to change their cars, we are now ripping off the poor. The witness is saying that if he or she is liable to pay €1,000 in tax on an old car, a motorist is charged approximately €280 extra to pay by the quarter. If he or she pays online, the cost per transaction is €5. As such, the actual cost to the...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: Mr. Scully has just told me that it only costs €5 to process the transaction online, but the Department is charging €35. This is the point at which I am getting. If a person whose tax is €1,000 can pay in one instalment, it is €1,000. If he or she has to pay it four times per annum-----

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: I will ask our guests to prepare that note. I am absolutely confident that all the information is available in the Department. I tabled parliamentary questions on this matter last year when I saw the report last year. I sought information on the age of cars and the Department had it. I ask that our guests provide an update to the committee as opposed to me, Deputy Sean Fleming. The...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: No, that would phenomenally complicated. I request the age profile of the cars on the road on one sheet of paper. On a separate sheet of paper, I would like a chart showing what it costs a person to tax the old cars that were 1,000 cc, 1,100 cc and so on, on a single transaction basis, a six-monthly basis or four transactions per year. This should also list the extra costs motorists have...

Seán Fleming: I have raised this issue by way of parliamentary question and received zero answer on it. The issue is as follows and it relates to the current mortgage-to-rent scheme. A pilot scheme was being looked at after the last mortgage-to-rent scheme was up and running. At the end of the pilot scheme, they will do a handful and in another year they might roll out some more. Ms Murray has answered...
