I understand from the Revenue Commissioners that if a vehicle is Type Approved for use on the road, it must be registered and subsequently motor taxed before it can be driven on public roads. If the vehicle is not Type Approved for use on the road, then it cannot be registered, or driven on the road; and so the issue of motor tax does not arise. As the Deputy will be aware the issue of Motor Tax is a matter for the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
