Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2004
219 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the reason a person cannot tax their vehicle for a month rather than the current minimum of three months; if such a facility will be provided under the new computerised system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5383/04]
View answerThe arrangement allowing motor tax to be paid for periods of three months and six months in addition to a period of one year is a long-standing one and there are no proposals to change it. The provision of a monthly tax period would lead to additional transactions and, even in the context of the new motor tax on line service, result in extra administrative and printing-postage costs.
