(when I last used the PMC to buy a similar new car, the breakdown was a full VRT rebate of €8.5k and VAT rebate of €7.5k - I only lost out on about €750 of a VAT reclaim because of the €16k ceiling)
Essentially, the Govt have increased VRT but not looked at the knock on impacts in areas such as the Primary Medical Cert.
Is anyone aware of any Disability Groups/TD's making noise about this?
