I propose to take Questions Nos. 423, 424 and 425 together.

I am advised by Revenue that the full year yield from the proposals to introduce a ten per cent luxury vehicle tax on the importation or sale of vehicles with values in excess of €65,000, €85,000 and €100,000 is tentatively estimated in the following table.

Proposal
Estimated full year yield
Value in excess of €65,000 €110m
Value in excess of €85,000 €56m
Value in excess of €100,000 €36m

They are based on the most recent 12 months of Revenue registrations data (July 2023 to June 2024) and assume no behavioural change. The estimates are inclusive of Category A and B vehicles only. The vehicle types specified have been excluded where possible. Category M and all other Category C vehicles have been excluded, as Revenue systems do not hold the necessary price data.

I am further advised that Revenue cannot provide estimates for later years due to the unknown nature of the future tax base and future economic behaviour.
