Yes, you pay from the first day of the month of registration. Unless, of course, the car wasn't to be used on a public road until 01/02. If that were to be the case then you'd need to get the relevant declaration signed & stamped by the Gardai before posting it in to Motor Tax.

Yes this happened to me too. The guards will sign the cover note for you no problem. but it means you have to drive around for a few days with no tax. So no problem there !
