Hey. I've had my car off the road since the end if July when the tax expired. Due to my wife being on maternity leave I have no intention of using it until Feb at the earliest. I may even consider getting it scrapped. I received a Final Reminder Motor Tax letter today requesting payment. Do I need to act on this letter in some way or just get the Gardai to sign the renewal if and when I do decide to use the car again?

Thanks
 
Thanks WindUp. Guess I'll deal with it when I decide what to do with it. This letter I got doesn't give the option of declaring that the vehicle is still in my possession but not being used as mentioned in thread you posted.
 
I'm sure if you get a letter signed by Gardai stating it is not in use that should be fine. They can't fine you if car isn't in use ..after all it's called road tax for a reason.
 
Yeah that's true. I've no problem if I go to renew again next year. The Gardai will sign the form for me...if they haven't changed things by then.
