Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

My Department compiles statistics on the number of motor tax discs issued rather than the number of vehicles taxed. As motor tax can be paid annually, half-yearly or quarterly, many motorists will tax their vehicles more than once during a given year. The numbers of motor tax discs issued in 2016 are set out in the following table. It should be noted that they do not include some 15,000 duplicate discs that were issued over the course of the year.
