REFERENCE NUMBER: IM112537I REQUEST UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2015 (“the Act”)

Thank you for your request dated 4 December 2017.

Your request

Your request asked for: -

Could you advise of the total income received from vehicle licenses for the last two years, if it is easier from year end would be fine.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, section 11 of the Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse to give an applicant the information they requested on the grounds that the information is qualified exempt information.

In this instance under section 11(3)(a) of the Act we are refusing your application on the grounds that a practical refusal reason applies, namely that the Treasury does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps, find the information that you request.

I can advise you that Vehicle Licencing is a part of the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) which is also a public authority under the Act. You may wish to resubmit your request to that public authority where it will be considered accordingly. The online portal for making a request is found at: -
