MINISTER FOR THE Environment Phil Hogan has confirmed a “restructuring” of our motor tax system as mentioned in Irish draft financial documents shown to the German parliament seen by TheJournal.ie over a week ago.
The exact details of the changes and increases won’t be revealed until Budget 2012 next Tuesday but Hogan’s comments on RTÉ’s The Week in Politics last night show that most motorists can be sure of taking a hit. The minister described the increase as an “indirect tax (that) would give people some choices in their spending”.
We want to know: if you see an increase in motor tax, would you consider changing your car/vehicle – or giving it up altogether?
