    Looks like I messed up and forgot my car bought two weeks ago was out of tax. So now I've to pay Nov and a fine. However, when I went to pay yesterday, and again today, the PIN retrieval system keeps telling em details are incorrect. It doesn't specify which details, even though I entered everything as per the newly arrived Registration Cert. Anyone had experience of this? Am I better off just slouching off to the Tax Office?

    just do it by post. You don't have to pay a fine, just one months arrears plus the tax from 1st dec

    I had a similar experience a while back. All I did was email motortax@dttas.ie and explained the situation. They responded the following day with a new PIN. It was refreshingly and scarily fast and efficient!!

    Thanks, did this immediately and if it fails I'll take Corktina's response and post it.

    I emailed the address mentioned above. Received a quick reply which was a FAQ. Message said to reply if question not answered within the FAQ. Did that and it was sorted within 24 hours. Very prompt.
