Ceisteanna (1096)

Brendan Ryan

Ceist:

1096. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason the case of a person (details supplied) who applied to have their car certified as not in use from July 2015 has now received a car tax bill of €1,892; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this person had sent in an RF150 form to state their car was off the road; if this person is only due to pay tax from the present as they get their car back on the road; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25199/18]

The Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Act 2013 provides that a vehicle may be declared off the road, in advance, for a period of between 3 and 12 calendar months, thus avoiding liability for motor tax. If, thereafter, the vehicle is not going to be used for a further time, another declaration may be made during the last month of the period covered by the first declaration. I would stress that such declarations must be made ahead of the period for which the vehicle will be off the road.

If a declaration of non-use is not made in respect of a vehicle, arrears are payable, at the time of next taxation, in respect of each month not covered by a declaration.
