  • BAPTS Report Dublin
    BAPTS High-quality public transport services for Europe Report on the BAPTS Launch Event Bielefeld DUBLIN 5TH Bapts PartNERSHIP MEETING/WORKSHOP/SITE VISIT www.bapts.eu 27 – 29 January 2010 5BAPTSth Partnership Meeting/Workshop/Site Visit in Dublin The BAPTS partnership meeting No 5 was hosted by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and the Dublin City Council (DCC). Thematically, the visit to the Irish capital was centred on the two topics of “Urban Bus Systems” and “Mobility Management”. During three thematic workshops, partners could jointly deepen their understanding of common challenges and solutions. The thematic site visit was aimed at better understanding the urban regeneration potential of large scale infrastruc- ture investments. Background information: Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland and has one of the fasted growing po- pulations of any European capital city. Despite the recent economic crisis, the city still develops very dynamically. Dublin‘s transit system currently utilises electrified suburban trains, diesel commuter rail, trams and an extensive bus network to provide service to the population of the Greater Dublin Area. The system is overseen by the NTA which has emerged in December 2009 from the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO). The entire Irish transport system is currently being reviewed and adjusted to future re- quirements within the framework of the national transport development plan “Trans- port 21”. The plan, which has been announced in 2005, includes far reaching extensions and large scale investments in particular in the Dublin transport network. Among other schemes, the plan foresees fundamental changes for the existing Dublin commuter net- work, the development of a metro system and large investments and extensions of the tram network already existing.

  • Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme)
    Circular Letter 0009 /2011 To the Chief Executive Officer of each Vocational Education Committee Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme) 1 Introduction The Minister for Education and Skills wishes to draw the attention of Vocational Education Committees to the Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme). Legislation was introduced in the Finance Act 1999 which allows an employer to incur the expense of providing an employee with an annual bus/rail pass, without the employee being liable for benefit-in-kind taxation. The Revenue Commissioners have agreed that the benefit- in-kind tax exemption will apply in the context of salary sacrifice, that is, where an employee agreed to forego or sacrifice part of his/her salary in lieu of the provision of the travel pass by the employer. The employee will not pay tax, PRSI, income levy or pension related deduction on the remuneration sacrificed. 2 Availability to employees The scheme should be made available to all VEC employees who are employed in a permanent, contract of indefinite duration, fixed term, or regular part time capacity at the date of application. The employment must be capable of lasting until the salary sacrifice has been recouped. It is not possible for casual or non casual employees to avail of the scheme. 3 Revenue requirements of the scheme Salary sacrifice by an employee in lieu of the provision of a travel pass by an employer will be acceptable to the Office of Revenue Commissioners as being effective for tax purposes under the following conditions: y There must be a bona fide and enforceable alteration to the terms and conditions of employment, i.e.
