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 number of motor tax discs issued for the years 2013 to 2017 are set out in the tables below, by annual, half-yearly and quarterly transactions.
