Park at work tax roll-out begins in October

THE €200 parking at work tax has finally been pencilled in for Dublin this October with a roll-out to Cork and other cities by next May.

But nearly two years after the highly contentious levy was first announced, opponents are calling for it to be abandoned, pointing to the continued delay in setting it up as proof of its unworkability.

The levy is set to be trialed in Dublin within two months, its impact will then be assessed in the new year and if a decision is made to roll it out across the country it would begin in cities like Cork and Galway from May onwards, according to the Finance Department.
