109. To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 169 of 3 November 2016, if he will clarify the policy regarding private car rental companies which operate here; if these companies are required to use cars taxed and registered here or if they can use vehicles taxed and registered in Northern Ireland and England; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised by Revenue that a car hire company operating in the State is obliged to use cars that are registered in the State.

A car rental that is registered in another jurisdiction and is brought into the State by a non-State resident can be either brought out of the State by that person or can be left in the State where it can (1) be re-hired once to another non-State resident with a view to its being removed from the State or (2) be removed from the State by an employee of the car hire firm concerned, whether or not the employee is a State resident. Car hire firms established in the State may not provide foreign-registered car rentals to individuals resident in the State.
