Extending VRT relief for hybrid vehicles until end of 2019.

Providing for a 1% surcharge for diesel vehicles to apply across all VRT bands.

To encourage the uptake of gas-propelled commercial vehicles as an alternative to diesel a new accelerated capital allowances scheme for gas-propelled vehicles and refuelling equipment is being introduced.

Watever

You get a pay rise if you've done nothing for the past year (unemployed, OAP, etc).  And a bonus at Christmas  yippee

Only half watched it but we're only submitting our 2017 returns now, we've two years to digest the detail. Smokes went up by 50c and I may have heard mention of an increase to our earned income allowance, pretty sure USC was reduced slightly, nothing to write home about I guess. There was some mention of 25% tax on Betfair's income from Irish mugs which I'd cautiously welcome pending reading the details, that's on top of doubling betting duty to 2%.

You did indeed hear about the earned income credit...up €200 from €1150,as you say it won't affect us until we do our 2019 returns in 2020.

Something about something about running your motor on Gas might be worth a look with Donny T likely to bomb some part of somewhere that has oil .If there was a grant and lower running costs it might be worth thinking about .
