I propose to take Questions Nos. 180 and 182 together.

Gross motor tax receipts from goods vehicles for 2012 through to 2015 and to the end of November 2016 are shown in the following table:

Year Gross receipts (€)
2012 146.3m
2013 163.8m
2014 176.6m
2015 173.2m
2016 (to 30 November) 128.0m

The motor tax rates for goods vehicles announced in Budget 2016 took effect for vehicle licences taken out with a commencement on or after 1 January 2016. The reduction in receipts for the eleven month period to the end of November 2016 was €36m, compared to the same period in 2015 when receipts from goods vehicles were €164m.
