Has or is there a change to getting a form stamped for a car been off the road?

My mk3 golf has been off the road for over 2 years now and I need to get some work done on my mk4 so Ill be without a car for a couple off weeks.

I stuck a battery in this morning and away she went so if I can transfer the insurance and get her taxed i'd be sorted.

Thanks.

There's a section in the bottom left of a standard Tax renewal form that you can get the Gards to stamp

Thanks for that Tallon. I thought there was talk of this been a loophole that was/is been abused and they were going to change it in the last budget?

Not that I am aware of. Thats the latest form on the site, and I will be doing this exact thing for my mams car on Friday, so hopefully it's still good
