    If you get stopped at a checkpoint youd better have a convincing excuse and /or the gift of the gab or car may be taken on the spot...If you park in a public place without tax a BIG fine may be got .If they find you have 'fake' tax disc (unlikely I spose...)Id say theyd throw the book at ya ...

    Don't you think the garage might notice?

    What ^^ they said.

    Take it straight to a Garda Station, get the form stamped and go to the tax office. Should tak a total of about 2 hours at a push.

    Theres no need to go near a Garda station. He just taxes it when he gets the VLC.

    The disc is the property of the state, like your passport and driving licence. Plus the reg of the Audi will be on it;)

    @stekelly...he'll need an off the road declaration to tax it without paying the 6 months backtax.

    No he wont, he's not liable for previous owners tax (or lack thereof)

    OP if you are stopped with the worng tax disc you are better off eating it before a Gard gets hold of it because it will only get you in more trouble.

    He is if he turns up without the cert. I had to get my last car declared off the road to avoid paying 4 months backtax on it.

    Turns up where and without what cert?

    Your only liable for tax from the start of the month that the ownership chages to you, What went on before you took ownership is irrelevant.

    Turns up at a motor tax office to pay without an off the road cert (RF100A) stamped by a Garda.

    As I already said above, it doesnt matter that it wasnt taxed before he bought it.

    He still needs to prove it! And he won't have a VLC for at least a month.

    You're right, but the OP's suggesting taxing the car from September - this will require a stamped cert.

    Previous owner should get it declared off the road, you should only have to tax if from point-of-ownership on.

    If they won't get it declared off the road, you should do it yourself. I've never been questioned when getting that stamped by Gardai, they're happy enough to do it without documentary evidence.

    Your general attitude towards the law seems lax though, audismelly, you'll do yourself a disservice.
    There's no need to take the disk from your Audi, you don't need it.
    If you're caught using it on another car you'll compound your punishment.
    The garage will notice it gone from the trade-in (I know I would...).

    Declare it off the road before your ownership and tax it immediately. It's fair, equitable and easy. You're only making trouble for yourself by doing otherwise.

    Well he was actually propesing postponiong taxign it indefinately originally, but I assumed we'd moved past that and all agreed he was taxign it straight away. :)

    They wont look for anything off him from before he owned it and why would they ? How is he to know where the car was or wht it's tax status was before he bought it. It's no concern of his.

    Once you have proof that you've just bought the car (I presume you'll be getting a receipt of some sort) the Gards won't bother you. You can't physically tax the car until you get the VLC. Just get it done asap as you could still be done while you're parked somewhere.
    Stekelly's right - you are in no way liable for tax arrears when you buy a car (read the back of the tax renewal form people!) and there's absolutely no need to declare it off the road before you bought it.

    Someone gets what? He's not liable for previous owners tax, end of. The date of change of ownership on thats on the form when it sent off is all that concerns him, nothing before that date has any consequence.

    They are only there to witness what ur saying. They don't query what u are saying.

    @OP, just tax ur tax, if ur buying from a dealer they should have the form, and if it's temporarily in their name they might tax it for u if u ask nicely.
