I am advised by Revenue that under the Disabled Drivers and Passengers Scheme individuals or organisations who hold a Primary Medical Certificate may claim Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and Value-Added Tax (VAT) reliefs on specially adapted vehicles. The table below provides the value of VAT and VRT refunded or remitted under this scheme from 2014 to the end of June 2025. This information is also published on the Revenue website at the following link: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/tax-expenditures/cost/index.aspx

Revenue retains all claimants' data, including vehicle registration details and tax registration numbers, however the county of residence or registration is not captured in the standard cost of tax-expenditure report. While the underlying records contain information required for a county-level breakdown, extracting and verifying this would be a time-intensive process that cannot be accommodated within the available timeframe required to answer the Deputy’s query.
