Question 59: To ask the Minister for Finance if employers who charge employees market value for car parking space will be exempt from the €200 levy; if such an employer who charges a token amount will be exempted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44482/08]

Assuming that the car parking space is in one of the areas covered by the levy, and assuming an employee is not entitled to exemption for other reasons, then there are two circumstances which trigger payment of the levy. The first of these is that an employee has entitlement to park and the second is that the space must be provided, directly or indirectly, by the employer. Neither of these criteria makes reference to payment for the facility.
