Vol. 512 No. 3
269 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the procedure for claiming a refund of vehicle road tax in the case of a car which, having crashed shortly after paying annual road tax, is scrapped; and the timescale for this procedure. [26255/99]
Responsibility for the administration of the motor tax system is a matter for each licensing authority. The motor tax regulations provide for a refund of motor tax where a vehicle has been scrapped, where its annual rate of duty exceeds £90 and where not less than a three month unexpired period remains on the disc from the date of scrappage. Application for a refund should be made as soon as possible to the applicant's local motor tax office.
