I'm going to transfer the car into a family members name and then I'll tax it, it's not ideal but I'll avoid the 3 months arrears.Originally Posted by Dave
Don't think you will get away with that now that you got it taken off you?? Should they not see a tax disc before its released? Stupid system...Originally Posted by Chris P. Bacon
I'm not too sure I'll give it a go anyway see what happens, yeah I agree it is a stupid system but as long as you have insurance and nct all you have to pay is the €125 release fee and you get the car back, you don't have to show you've taxed it.Originally Posted by Chrispyfish
Tax it ASAP and you won't get caught for back tax as the system isn't that up to date. It happened to me and I just taxed it as soon as I had the car out.
How do you do that? The online system asks for arrears doesn't it?

The girl in the impound didn't even charge me any storage fee as I was there bang on 9am. I got charged the impound that was it.
Weird, I've a car that's one month out and the system knows I'm due arrears.
I say you just got lucky or something,i was in the cop station at 9am to get the release form and i drove the car out of the impound yard around 10am,now i just checked online and i still owe the arrears.Originally Posted by kendo
And you only get charged the storage fee if its been there for over 24hrs.
Maybe I was lucky but it 100% did happen I most certainly wasn't complaining. It did do one thing tho and that was teaching to keep the car taxed at all times as it's just not worth the hassle.
