I am advised by Revenue that an application for an exemption from Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) was made by the person concerned in November 2014. The letter of acknowledgement issued by Revenue following receipt of the application contained details of a Revenue contact phone number, postal address, email address and a named Revenue official.

Revenue made numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact the person concerned, at the contact address and telephone number provided in the application, as regards additional information required to facilitate consideration of the application. In the circumstances, the application was eventually refused by Revenue in May 2015. I understand from Revenue that efforts to deliver a registered letter advising of the refusal were also unsuccessful.
