Car cash back benefit for Irish families with disabled child

Families in the Republic of Ireland could be missing out on a benefit. If you need a car for your disabled child you are able to claim back the VAT paid on both the car and petrol.

“A lot of people are not aware that this rule exists” said regional co-ordinator John Leonard.

Any Irish families who want further information should contact John.
