I am advised by Revenue that the National Car Testing Service (NCTS) registers all vehicles for Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) purposes. 

Revenue has also advised me that camper vans are different to other vehicles for VRT registration purposes in that they have unique features that require the specification of each vehicle to be separately examined. Consequently, the NCTS refers all such VRT applications to Revenue for review. This contrasts with the registration process for other passenger motor vehicles, where the VRT due is calculated (by the NCTS) based on the Open Market Selling Prices (OMSP).

Revenue is conscious of the different arrangements that operate for camper van owners in registering their vehicles for VRT purposes and is currently reviewing the process to determine what improvements can be made to the process. Revenue intends to engage with the camper van sector as part of the review and in this context will consult with the business referenced by the Deputy.
