Refunds of Motor Tax
Application for refunds of Motor Tax can be made to the Motor Tax Office, on Form RF120, in circumstances when:
- The vehicle has been scrapped/destroyed completely and is incapable of being used on the roads
- The vehicle has been stolen and has not been recovered by the owner
- A vehicle in respect of which a tax disc has been issued, has not been used in a public place at any time since the issue of the 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/educational purposes, or overseas services with the Defence Forces, to use the vehicle
- Vehicle has been exported, sent permanently out of the state
Applicants must surrender the relevant tax disc, Vehicle Registration Certification/Registration Book, together with evidence (RF120A, Medical Certificate, etc., as appropriate) in support of claim, immediately as refunds are generally calculated from the first of the month following the vehicle going off the road. A minimum of three unexpired whole calendar months must be left on the disc from the date that the vehicle went off the Road. Application forms (RF120) are available from the Motor Taxation office.
