Anyone done it?

The text on the website says minimum declaration is 3 months. It also says that you can cancel the declaration at any time by renewing your tax in your local motor tax office – the validity of the tax disc will commence from the first day of the month in which you tax the vehicle.
No, fire ahead. I’ve done it lots of times, especially if I think I’ll be travelling a lot.

So tomorrow declare off the from 1st Feb for any period up to a year (I generally do it for a year) Then on 1st March log into Motortax.ie and tax it again if you like and it’ll automatically cancel the OTR declaration
