Refunds of Motor Tax

Refunds of motor tax

An application for a refund should be made directly to you local motor tax office, using the RF120 Refund of Motor Tax . Circumstances where you may claim a refund of motor tax include;

• The vehicle has been scrapped/destroyed or sent permanently out of the State,
• The vehicle has been stolen and has not been recovered by the owner,
• The vehicle has not been taken out or used in a public place at any time since the issue of the current disc,
• The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of illness, injury or other physical disability, to use the vehicle,
• The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of absence from the state for business or educational purposes, to use the vehicle,
• The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of service overseas with the Defence Forces, to use the vehicle.

Tax discs must be surrendered immediately as refunds are generally calculated from the first of the month following the surrender of the disc. A minimum of three unexpired whole calender months must be left on the disc when surrendered. Where a vehicle has been scrapped you will need a certificate of destruction issued by an End of Life Vehicle Authorised Treatment Facility.

Payment Details   are also required to be submitted with all other documents.
