I am informed by Revenue that an estimated €60m would have been collected for the Exchequer if sales of new cars in the first quarter of 2017 had matched the level seen in the same period in 2016. However, the Deputy should also note than an additional €26.4m in VRT has been received in respect of increased registrations in used cars in the same period.
