Apparently, there's no such thing

Surprising that you can get away with taxing it as a 2 litre in the first place

I'd guess that anyone at that craic is being financially creative in all of their business. I wonder is there any follow up on it from other agencies.

Dear Gardai, Revenue and various different facets of the state. There's a couple of billion quid missing from just around the corner from coppers. Check it out. I'd say there's far more wonga recoverable from that particular swindle than there'll ever be from sending out a number of individuals to recoup an amount of money that's far inferior to the actual cost of recouping it. And to he fair it's all because ye didn't do your job right in the first place. I'm not condoning such shenanigans but in fairness there's bigger fish to fry.

..and while yer at it, find the moron who is signing off on 2 litre 6 Series' and fire his/her lame ass, they are either grossly incompetent or in on the scam

Of course they know what they are doing but I've a feeling it will be a case of garage stamp and false name or something like that.

All i want to know is what happened the engine covers.

they should investigate the crime of the criminal motor tax here on the cc system, for cars with anything but mickey mouse engines...

A stop lads, a single traffic guard is hardly going to go after the state looking for the few million thats missing, they take orders from above. Anyway, more of this sort of thing I say

645 is cool I would like to have the 650 pearl white cabrio.

Bigus

Mobile workshop maybe?
Or a shonky hearse?
To be fair, at least this guy has made it into a crap hearse to get the chape tax.

Oh it's legit on paper I'd say. Sh1t but legit. Although you'd be beyond caring at that stage I suppose....

I'm saying tis a wonder beemer boy didn't go the whole hog if he was gonna be bothered paying people to fiddle things.

The real scam is the price of tax in Ireland:

http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/advice/road-tax-guide/bmw/6-series/coupe-2004/26670/

£290.00 per year to tax in the UK, €1809 to tax in Ireland

frozenfrozen

should be like the uk where there are no disks to be faked and everyone just pays something reasonable like 300 pounds.

although since they broke anpr I can't see that happening for a while.

Special Circumstances

The real scam is paying 50 odd percent tax on everything over wages in the low 30K. But you don't have much choice in that if you're a paye chimp.

Buying a prestige car and fiddling the tax is as classy and prestigious as Christmas in rathkeale. Buy a corolla and stop spoofing like!

I only mentioned a place, not a culture or lifestyle choice. People can jump to their own conclusions :-)

The 1.4 version is particularly popular here in Ireland for some reason....

Hachiko

that is actually £505 to tax a year but still cheap compared to Ireland - if its pre 2010. If 2010 or newer it will be £1100 per annum.

frozenfrozen

if you're on old tax its 1809 but new tax it would be 2000+. you get *****d from every angle when it comes to cars in ireland

Hachiko

Not a country for petrol heads, I can see why ever man and his dog has moved to daysuls.

CianRyan

It's not difficult to see why Japanese performance cars have always been popular here.
You're never really going to pay more than €720 in tax, insurance eventually gets reasonable too.
