    No, it's 30 yrs for tax.

    Pre 1980 thing is the NCT thing: post Jan 1 1980, you have to NCT it every 12 month's.

    This is my understanding of it, btw.

    just had a look at motortax.ie now: they seem to have changed the page. Unless I'm losing my mind, the rates pages (pdf's) are gone, and it's asking you to input a reg no.

    I wouldn't be volunteering too much to a database like that.........red flag's and all that....

    ....shades of too-many-enquiries on a given model on the VRT site making it go up......you know the mentality....

    ..tread carefully.......

    Agreed with the screen 'roadbloack' :D

    We used to have about 11 stickies here and the roadblock is the reason why we only have one* with a lot of info and links in the first post :)

    *Plus the for sale / wanted / swap sticky that is...

    strictly it is 30 years old not 1st Jan...you MAY get away with it (I did once) but you may have to wait for the car to be thirty years old from date of reg...

    Choose the second option of looking it up under RATES BY BASIS OF ASSESSMENT ;)

    Alternative, if you use the pdf link in the charter, the page is still on the server...:pac:
