taxing without NCT

daithi09

Was going to tax my van because I need it on the road for a few days, I read on a thread here somewhere that you didnt need to have your vehicle tested to tax it but when I looked at the form online it said this:

C3 Section 3 - A Certificate of roadworthiness (CRW) is required as follows:

· Goods Vehicles, Trailers, Buses and Ambulances over 1 year old must be tested every year

· Design Gross Vehicle Weight (DGVW) is the basis for determining vehicle classification for vehicle testing purposes

· Goods vehicle having a DGVW of 3500 kg kilograms or lower to be tested as a Light Goods Vehicle (L G V) – C R W fee €6

· Goods vehicle having DGVW exceeding 3500 kilograms to be tested as a Heavy Goods Vehicle (H G V) – C R W fee €13
If you do not have a current CRW, you must include a Pass Statement issued by an Authorised Tester, together with the appropriate fee with this

application and a CRW will be issued to you


Can anyone clarify this, it seems pretty straight forward that I do need a certificate of roadworhtiness but I'm hoping someone will have away around it???

Thanks in advance

You DO need to have a valid NCT to tax a vehicle

You dont need a valid NCT to tax a vehicle. Just supply the last code on your expired disk. When you hand the form in behind the counter all they acutally check on the form is your name and address are correct, they type NOTHING else into the computer.

Ive done this loads of times absolutely no bother.

Yes techniclly you should need a valid NCT, but thats a way around it.

Van = DOE = €86

CRW = €6

You need a DOE, you send the pass cert into the tax office with €6 for a CRW and the amount for tax.

Ya learn something new every day, when i went to get my tax, i had to fill out the back of the form, with my NCT details and insurance, i presumed that the NCT details would have to be up to date

A Certificate of Roadworthiness is not an NCT.

Here's the form you filled out. Note the lack of mention of an NCT.

However, the OP has a Van which does need a Certificate of Roadworthiness.

It used to be , but they removed the requirement years ago. They found out they lost money when the nct went on strike.

Never updated for forms , but you can just leave it blank.

I taxed my car for almost 3 years without an NCT.

No questions asked and no problems, just leave the NCT section blank

There is no NCT for a commercial vehicle. It is a Certificate of Road Worthyness (CRW). While you dont need your NCT to tax a passenger vehicle you do need the CRW for a commercial

balls, the chances of getting my van tested in the morning are pretty slim I'd imagine.. Anybody want a 05 transit with no CRW.. thanks for the help anyway, saves me looking like an eejit tomorrow arguing that I don't need a CRW...

If he is taxing the van as a commercial vehicle/own goods he certainly does need an indate CRW. He won't be allowed to tax his van without it.

slightly different (sorry for derailing) but can you tax a car without having the log book?

Just bought a car and the tax is up but I haven't got the log book back.

Only if the change of ownership has been done and the vehicle has been registered in your name. I believe it's currently taking about 2 weeks for c/ownership to go through. If you had taken the log book to your local tax office they would have transfererd ownership and taxed it for you at same time.

Cheers for that. The change has gone through as far as I know, checked it on the motortax.ie site. Once I don't need the actual paper.
