Under current motor tax, legislation exemptions are allowed for certain categories of vehicles, including State-owned vehicles and vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances and those used exclusively for mountain and cave rescue. Under the present system, there is no provision for the exemption of motor tax for vehicles such as those referenced by the Deputy.

I wish to advise that I have no plans currently to amend the relevant legislation to extend the list of vehicles which are exempt from motor tax.
