The detailed provisions of the car parking levy are currently being finalised and will be included in the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008, which will be published on 20th November next. While the extent to which car parking is provided in association with Government offices varies, the number of spaces provided is always a fraction of the number of staff serving in the office and there are no immediate proposals to change policy in this regard.
