• Passenger car, van and 4 X 4= €2.80 + VAT
• Motorcycle = €1.50 + VAT

How it is to be displayed on documentation
The vEMC should be displayed as a separate line item on all invoices and customer sales receipts.
The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) are responsible for the Waste Management (Tyres and Waste Tyres) Regulations 2017 which govern the level of vEMC applied for each tyre category.   The requirements for the vEMC to be a separate line item on all sales documentation are outlined in the Regulations.
