Quick Motor Tax Question

retrosouls

Anyone know if I can get my pin number to do my tax online with out actually having the renewal form that should have been sent out to me?
The thought of standing in line for the best part of 2hours isn't appealing today!

I think it may be the last 5 digits of your chassis number.

If the PIN wasn't sent out to you, then it's likely that either your address on the VLC is incorrect, or you bought the car this year, and the online facility hasn't been set up for you.

In the former case, you'll need to change the address on the VLC and then renew your tax. In the latter case, you won't be able to do it online. You can do it by post. You usually get it back within two weeks.

I don't think it is the last five digits of your chassis number at all.

However, you can just post a cheque if you don't get the pin+renewal form.

I'm afraid not Anan1 - the PIN is different at each renewal.

AFAIK one must complete a RF100A form also.

I never received my renewal form before - had the car around a year at that stage and hadn't changed address.
Rang the department to ask for the PIN, explained I never got a renewal form, she just sighed, said something about An Post services, asked me a few questions over the phone, and told me to call back in a couple of hours and when I did they told me it over the phone
Might be worth a try?

Presumably if you send it by post, they send the registration book back in the post with the new tax disc
AFAIK you still have to send the registration book with the completetd forms

If you have not received a PIN then contact the office (phone number is on motortax.ie somewhere) and they will issue you with one.
The PIN is NOT part of the VIN.

The last 6 digits of the chassis number only works for taxing a brand new car.

I can confirm that the last 6 digits are your pin number but only on a brand new car
