836. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the circumstances in which the owner of a vehicle may declare a vehicle to be off-the-road for tax purposes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28421/15]
View answerIf a vehicle is not going to be in use in a public place for a temporary period of time, the owner can make a Declaration of Non-Use of a Motor Vehicle at any time in the last month of an extant motor tax disc or the last month of a previously made Declaration of Non-Use. The vehicle can be declared off the road for a period of between 3 and 12 calendar months, and a further declaration can then be made, if the vehicle is still not in use. The owner is not required to specify the reason that the vehicle is not being used.
