    You only have to pay the tax from the start of the month when you become the registered owner. Being related will not change this.

    Bring a tax form into the Guards and get it stamped to declare it was off the road.

    He doesn't need to as the car is changing ownership.

    Don't see how it would as you and your brother are not the same person.

    Don't go to the gardai as you are not the current owner and not responsible for back tax. When you are the owner you can tax it from that date on in the normal way.
