                                                                                        Please Sign Petition Below

                                                                                        There are changes in the interpretation and the administration by the Revenue Commissioners of the legislation relating to the Disabled Driver and Passenger Tax Relief Scheme, due to be implemented from the 1st January 2012. One of these proposed changes is that organisations such as MDI will not be able to claim tax back on in relation to purchasing accessible buses.

                                                                                        From the 1st January 2012 organisations that are primarily funded by the State will no longer be eligible to claim:
                                                                                        - VAT and VRT when purchasing new buses.
                                                                                        - Exemption from road tax.
                                                                                        - Rebate in relation to duty on fuel.

                                                                                        The IWA has a petition against these changes and you can sign it here: http://www.iwa.ie/petition/
