I am advised by Revenue that the number of cars registered for Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) availing of VAT rebate is not directly available from Revenue’s IT systems, as traders are not required to separately identify the type of services and/or goods on which a VAT input credit is claimed in their tax returns.
Separately, the number of new vehicles registered, upon which a VRT repayment claim was paid in relation to Car Hire, Car Leasing and School of Motoring (as provided for under Finance Act 1992, Section 134 (Permanent Reliefs) and Vehicle Registration and Taxation (No. 2) Regulations, 1992), for each month in 2017 and to the end of September 2018, is provided in the following table.
The figures provided are based on the number of claims approved as of the end of September 2018 and as such may be subject to future revisions.
