Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: I do not know the answer to the Deputy's question but the committee secretariat will write to the Department directly on the issue highlighted by him. As I understand it, TII funds the local authorities for roads projects but the Department of Rural and Community Development is now getting involved in this area. Earlier, I listed nine Government agencies which are funding the local...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: To conclude the section, I shall ask a few questions as Chairman that were not asked to date, primarily on the transport area. Deputy Cassells mentioned that people who pay their motor vehicle tax give out if the roads in their areas are not being maintained. This link has always been there in the public mind, especially in rural areas. People who pay their motor tax expect some payback for...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: My next question is for TII and perhaps the best way to deal with it is to send a note. I know it has centralised maintenance on the major motorway networks. TII states in the briefing notes that there are nine local authorities between Dublin and Cork on the M7 and M8, whereas TII has centralised this into three maintenance contracts outside of the public private partnerships. How does it...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: TII might send us a detailed note, especially on how many different contracts are involved in the motorway network. Some of us use the motorways and there has been a marked improvement in recent years regarding maintenance. I am speaking about hedge-cutting, litter, barrier protection, lights and paving. TII probably has a bigger budget than the local authorities had when they were doing...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: That is a big increase. Last year, 74% of people taxed their cars at home at their kitchen table or on their iPad as the case may be, so three quarters of people are doing this. One would expect the Department to have staff savings at front-line cash desks in various local authorities if only one quarter of people go in to do it over the counter. That is fine. Perhaps the Department will...

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 expected to be asked this. Clearly, pre-2008 cars have a bigger engine size and the motor tax is two, three, or four times the amount for newer vehicles, which is based on emissions. It is clear most of the people taxing post-2008 vehicles do it in one fell swoop because it is only a couple of hundred euro per annum, whereas most of the people with bigger, older cars do it on a...

Special Report No. 97 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Administration and Collection of Motor Taxes (8 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: So it is 60% versus 40% or thereabouts. The Department is probably collecting way more from the 40% than from the 60%. Of course it is. I am sure Mr. Scully has those figures also. I have them here somewhere.

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: No pre-2008 car is taxed at €100. An amount of €1,000 would be closer to the mark.
