    Hi there
    Does anyone know that if I pay one year car tax, is it possible to get it back if the car was written off or stolen or sold etc ?
    Thanks in advance.

    i have heard of it been done before but dunno how to do it ring up the tax office and they should tell you if they say no ring again or try another tax office because some of them if they dont know they wont bother to find out

    It's possible, but only if you're putting it off the road permenantly.

    Final answer:

    the vehicle has been scrapped/destroyed or sent permanently out of the State,
    the vehicle has been stolen and has not been recovered by the owner,
    the vehicle has not been taken out or used in a public place at any time since the issue of the current disc,
    the owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of illness, injury or other physical disability, to use the vehicle,
    the owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of absence from the state for business or educational purposes, to use the vehicle,
    The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of service overseas with the Defence Forces, to use the vehicle.
    Tax discs must be surrendered immediately as refunds are generally calculated from the first of the month following the surrender of the disc. A minimum of three unexpired whole calender months must be left on the disc when surrendered.

    As unkel said... You can only claim whole multiples of 3 month intervals back, e.g. if you have 5 months tax left you can claim back 3. Fill in the form, get it stamped by a Garda, give it into your tax office and get a cheque a couple of months later...

    Edit: It's form RF120 apparently: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/travel-and-recreation/motoring-1/motor-tax-and-insurance/motor_tax_rates
