I propose to take Questions Nos. 280, 281 and 282 together.

I am advised by Revenue that the current VRT rates for Category A and B electric vehicles (EVs) are 7% and 13.3% respectively. Category M motorcycles are exempt from VRT. EVs with an Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) of up to €40,000 are granted VRT relief of up to €5,000 while EVs with an OMSP of greater than €40,000 but less than €50,000 receive a reduced level of VRT relief. EVs above €50,000 are not eligible for VRT relief.

Using 2024 data the table below provides the value of EV relief and the net VRT EV liabilities.
