I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that approximately 58% of net registrations of new cars for VRT to date in 2007 (end August) took place in the first quarter of the year. The number of net registrations of new cars for VRT in 2007 to date represents an increase of over 5 per cent compared to the same period in 2006.

The table below provides information regarding the number of net registrations of cars for VRT and the amount of VRT collected in each month in 2007 to date.
