motor tax documents needed in tax office

Our man in Havana

What docs do you need if taxing a car in a tax office?

EKRIUQ

Insurance Policy
Renewal Form
Approiate Fee
NCT cert if applicable
Car Registration Form(Old Tax Book)


(And a good book to read because there's always plonkers holding up the line because they have'nt the right forms.)


Bingo

You can get away without the NCT cert.

How to apply
If your vehicle is new, you need a "First Motor Tax Application" form (RF 100). This is available from the motor dealer or person from whom you bought your vehicle. When you are applying for first motor tax, you must present the following documents at your local Motor Taxation Office:

Form RF 100
Vehicle Registration Certificate
Current Certificate of Insurance issued in Ireland
Correct fee.

Two forms are available for the purpose of renewing motor tax - Motor Tax Renewal Form RF 100A and Motor Tax Renewal Form RF 100B. The only difference between these two forms is the RF 100B is a computer-printed form that is automatically posted to you about a month before your tax is due to expire, while the RF 100A is available from your local Motor Taxation Office.

Not everyone receives a form in the post, so it is up to you to keep check of when your tax expires. Both forms should be returned to your local Motor Taxation Office in person or by post. If you apply in person you will receive your new tax disc there and then. If you make a postal application, you should allow up to 3 weeks to receive your new disc. The following should accompany both forms when making an application:

Vehicle Licensing Certificate
Current Certificate of Insurance
National Car Test Certificate (if applicable)
Correct fee for the period you wish to tax it for.

So:
RF 100A Form
Vehicle Licensing Certificate
Current Certificate of Insurance
National Car Test Certificate (if you car requires an nct ie. Not new) - i would imagine
Correct fee for the period you wish to tax it for

You are not asked for a nct online and I had heard that they had suspended the requirement in tax offices yonks ago. I think murphaph mangaed to tax without one? Can you confirm friend?

I asked the very same question here a few weeks ago and was informed by the venerable members here that I didn't need it, and they were right, I didn't. I went to Chancery Street and the drone behind the glass never batted an eyelid about the lack of NCT cert. The bank that doesn't do withdrawals I like to call it!

murphaph

Oooh, I answered as you were asking, spooky :eek:

Apparently, the requirement to show an NCT Cert was dropped a few years ago when NCT staff went on strike (govt worried about lots of untaxed cars on the roads as a result of this strike), and it has yet to be reinstated.

You might be best ringing the crowd in Shannon first about why you didn't get your renewal before queuing in the tax office. Could save yourself a long wait.

I think it was becuase I changed my name on the registration docs.
