Fuel tax rebate scheme would net €200m, say hauliers
The claim was made yesterday in a pre-budget submission by the Irish Road Haulage Association, which said most hauliers were now opting to buy diesel on Continental Europe because of the absence of such a rebate system.
IRHA president, Eoin Gavin claimed the Government was missing out on €650 in excise and €340 in VAT per week from each haulier who filled his truck with diesel while abroad.
