End of the road for electric car grant for company cars

, was on top of the €5,000 tax rebate on Vehicle Registration Tax on full-electric vehicles.

The Department said the decision to discontinue the €3,800 for companies buying electric cars and plug-in hybrids was because “the generous benefit-in-kind tax relief that is available for these vehicles is considered adequate incentive to drive growth in this sector”. The changes were announced as part of a wider range of Budget measures relating to electric vehicles. The Minister for Finance,, announced additional funding of €8 million for electric vehicle purchase grants, bringing the total allocated in 2020 to €14 million.

Lettiemccarthy So disappointing, how does this square with the ClimateAction plan RichardbrutonTD ?

So it is true, the new carbon taxes are a money grab for central exchequer funds

Wait until Brexit! Ireland won't know what hit it!

Govt not serious about reducing carbon footprint no incentive to go electric it’s just an excuse for govt to take more from us ! bringontheelection

deshocks Better to put that money into electric buses and trains than SIMI dealer pockets.

hegarty_ruth The government are too dependant on fossil fuels as a major tax source to be turning the consumers onto electric cars and renewable energy sources. They only need to appear to be doing something while in practice doing nothing . Its a win win for the political elite

deshocks They want everyone’s money thats about it a joke

Did...did they think that people wouldn't notice? It's pretty obvious when speech is coming out both sides of a mouth, isn't it?!

The right hand giveth while the left taketh away.
