Tax question

Post by stevie g »

So I took the old girl out of storage yesterday for the first time in 6 years, now back in 2016 we were about to become parents and flat out trying to buy a gaff and I lobbed it into my nanas barn but never signed it off the road.

The question is, am I going to be stung for all the back tax?

When I transferred ownership over I went into Laois County Council to get it done straight away. I didn't want them to lose the brown logbook. I was told when I get it on the road and have it insured I would need to pay one year's road tax - which will be its last year because it is now over 40 years old.

You'll still need to pay tax even over 40 years old. I think they need it taxed before you can change class (eg to vintage)
