    Yep you can only tax it for either 3,6 or 12 months. Check out motortax.ie and you will find everything you need.

    Definately 3, 6 or 12 months. No 2 months I'm afraid.

    You can tax it for 3 and put it off the road after 2, then get a refund (I think:confused: )

    only if its is scrapped can someone get a refund on road tax, e.g written off in a crash.

    That's correct. 99er, maybe you're thinking of the UK where you can get a refund if you send the disc back

    How big is the car? Is this an issue about €23 of a €72 3 month tax?
