Buying Used Car w/ Expired Tax

    Hi, guys.

    I've searched the forum and done some reading about the new motor tax laws, but I've not seen a definitive answer to my specific question.

    That is this ... If I purchase a used car from someone who did not renew the taxes on the vehicle in June or July, will I be liable for the arrears?

    Thanks very much in advance.

    ~ Ryan

    It's been the same always. You only have to pay tax from the first of the month of purchase.
    So don't buy car in September, wait until the first of October.

    Okay ... That's what sellers are telling me, but I wanted to verify that to be true. Thanks for your help. Is there a consensus on that, folks? Anyone else know differently?

    from citizens information
    Motor tax
    You cannot tax your vehicle until the registration of the change of ownership has gone through. You can then renew the motor tax on the vehicle using Form RF100A or online. If the motor tax has already expired, you are not liable for the arrears period from the expiry of the last tax disc to the end of the month immediately preceding the date of sale
