(a) gurb í an fheirmeoireacht is aon-ghnó nó is príomhghnó aige, agus nach n-úsáidtear an fheithicil ar bhóithre poiblí ach ó am go ham agus chun na gcríocha seo amháin—
(i) chun toradh a fheirme agus earraí a tharraingt is gá le haghaidh na feirme, lena n-áirítear an teach feirme agus na foirgintí feirme, ach gan tarraingt bhreosla d'áireamh más mar earra le díol a hiompraítear é, nó
(ii) chun earraí den chineál chéanna a tharraingt le haghaidh feirmeora eile, ar choinníoll nach ar luaíocht a tarraingtear na hearraí sin, nó
(b) gur conraitheoir é a fostaíodh chun obair thalmhaíochta a dhéanamh ar fheirm agus nach n-úsáidtear an fheithicil ar bhóithre poiblí ach chun earraí a tharraingt a theastaíonn uaidh chun an obair sin a dhéanamh.
4. Maidir le feithicil lena mbaineann mír 5 de Chuid I den Sceideal seo, agus—
(a) más feithicil a tiomáintear le leictreachas í, ar mó ná tonna agus ceathrú ach nach mó ná tonna go leith a meáchan gan ualach, agus, más feithicil d'aon tsaghas eile í, ar mó ná tonna ach nach mó ná tonna go leith a meáchan gan ualach, agus
(b) a gcruthófar ina leith chun sástachta an Aire Tionscail agus Tráchtála go ndearnadh oiread cóimeála ar an fheithicil sin sa Stát agus a bhí, agus go ndearnadh sin ar chuma a bhí, chun sástachta an Aire sin de thuras na huaire, agus gur cóimeáladh amhlaidh í roimh an 13ú lá de Bhealtaine, 1936, nó gur cóimeáladh amhlaidh í, go hiomlán nó an oiread agus a bhí chun sástachta an Aire sin de thuras na huaire, as comhpháirteanna a monaraíodh sa Stát,

(a) a licence under section 1 of this Act is in force,

(c) the vehicle as so used is in all other respects a vehicle chargeable with duty at the higher rate,
duty shall become and be chargeable on the vehicle at the higher rate.
(2) Where a person so uses a vehicle that duty becomes chargeable in accordance with this section at a higher rate, the person shall, unless duty has been paid at the higher rate before the commencement of such user, be guilty of an offence and be liable on summary conviction to an excise penalty of (whichever is the greater) twenty pounds or three times the difference between the duty paid and duty at the higher rate.
