Diesel Rebate Scheme
Register – Republic of Ireland (ROI) licence holders
How do I register for inclusion in the Diesel Rebate Scheme (DRS)?
If you hold an Irish road transport operator licence, you may register for the DRS through the Revenue Online Service (ROS).
To register, login to ROS and select ‘Manage Tax Registrations’ under the ‘Services’ tab. You must register for the DRS before you can submit any notification or claim for a DRS repayment.
What documentation do I need to register?
Road haulage operators must hold either a national, or international, road haulage operator's licence.
Passenger transport operators must hold either a national, or international, road passenger transport operator’s licence.
In addition to either of the above, you will also need:
- the transport operator’s licence number
- the transport manager’s certificate of professional competence number (not a driver CPC)
- and
- a current Tax Clearance Certificate.
Please contact the Department of Transport if you have any queries relating to your operator licence or CPC numbers.
Fuel card notifications
Fuel cards from approved operators must be notified to Revenue through ROS.
If your fuel card type is not on the approved list, please contact your fuel card provider to ensure that they are registered for the DRS.
Revenue will verify your fuel card purchases with data supplied by your fuel card provider.
How do I complete a fuel card notification?
You must submit the following through ROS:
- your fuel card provider name
- your fuel card number
- and
- the name or identifier on the card.
