1. These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1973 in consequence of the Finance Act 1987.
2. Section 2 of the Finance Act 1987 amended the Vehicles (Excise) Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 for the purpose of establishing recovery vehicles as a class of vehicles chargeable with a specific duty of excise.
3. Previously, under section 16 of the 1972 Act a motor trader could take out a trade licence for all recovery vehicles kept by him for the purpose of dealing with disabled vehicles in the course of that business. As a result of the amendments made by the 1987 Act trade licences can no longer be taken out for a recovery vehicle kept for that purpose.
