The number of licences issued by An Post from January to June 2023 are set out in the table below.
The evasion rate in 2021 was estimated at 13.7%, giving an overall compliance rate of 86.3% for that year. The estimate of the evasion rate for 2022 is currently being finalised by my Department based on new data from the Census 2022, the summary results of which were published by the Central Statistics Office at the end of May.
