The total gross receipts nationally from motor tax were €956.73m in 2007, €1,059.69m in 2008 and €1,057.82m in 2009. The table sets out the gross receipts county-by-county including the on-line service.

The income received from motor tax is paid directly into the Local Government Fund to support the funding of local authorities. The Fund is used predominately to finance local and regional roads and the general purpose needs of local authorities. Disbursement of grants for local and regional roads is a matter for the Minister for Transport.
