By Leanne Cooke @leannelily18

Tax for certain work vehicles during the lockdown will be brought up by an MHK for discussion this week.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will quiz Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker, on the matter when the House of Keys meets for a virtual sitting tomorrow.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know what plans the minister has to discount vehicle tax for next year and offer a refund, in relation to plant equipment for companies affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.

His query will be heard when members convene for the remote session at 10am.
