No motor tax refunds for vehicles off road during lockdown

The Government will not offer motor tax refunds to drivers who kept their vehicles off the road for months during the height of the Covid-19 lockdown, Minister for Transport, including during the most intense period of restrictions when virtually all bar essential vehicles were off the road.

Ms Murphy said constituents had contacted her asking what the Government was going to do about motor tax refunds and suggested the State could at least consider specific cohorts for a refund. Motorists can avail of a tax waiver if they declare their car off the road in advance. Ms Murphy had asked the Minister if he would offer a means for motorists to avail of a waiver of motor tax when they could not possibly have declared their vehicles off the road ahead of Covid-19 restrictions.
