anyone can tax it if you have the login details online or the log book in the office. All they are looking for is the money.Quote:

- go all the way into the city centre and queue in what i believe is not only 1 of 2 Tax offices left in Dublin. As they chose to close down one of the busiest public buildings ive ever set foot in (clondalkin office)
- Post in the R500a form to the dublin office, to which i am told they cannot process it until February comes around and only then can they work on processing it and dispatching a disk.
So i pay the favourable sum of 511 Euro for 3months and i cannot drive the car for the full 3 months until they pull their finger out and process the payment and send the desk.
What a fantastic barrel of utter shite we have in this country, and these edgits wonder why we view every thing they do with skeptism.
BTW, i attempted to declare it back on the road online system. It dont allow you to do this and indicates you owe back tax if you attempt it.
Handy clap for whatever incompetent moron came up with this.
I queued for 10 mins in Dublin motor tax office today - all taxed and no visit to garda station for stamp.

Just fill in an RF100 and post it? You can put the off the road period in and you don't need to get the form stamped.Quote:

The lady in the email tells me to contact my local tax office.... Well that would be superb if they ever answered the phone.
Anyone who defends this type of backwards archaic system Especially with the rates i am paying i have nothing but suspicion of.
Firstly - you indicated you sent in an RF500a, not an RF100.Quote:

Queueing in the garda station to get a stamp was a ballache - its done with now. You can declare the car off the road in seconds, getting it back on still requires a form but that will be resolved eventually.
Finally, the massive backlog causing issues is because half the country was ripping off the system and not taxing their car. Over 30,000 additional agricultural vehicles which had never been taxed came into the system as a result of it - thats not to mention the thousands in the system which just hadn't been taxed in years.
If the facility to re-tax a car with is SORN'd online doesn't go live in the next 12 months I'll have a gripe, until then I'm happy enough with it - theres absolutely no disadvantage over the old system for anyone at the moment, you've never been able to tax a car in advance like you tried.

Frankly the fact that 30,000 or whatever were ripping off the exchequer has not reflection on me. If you dont have the man power (which isnt true) to implement such a system you delay it or at least roll it out in an appropriate manner, Which begs the question why they have closed as i stated above one of the busiest offices in Dublin.
No this system is not better than the previous, as per usual its roughly implemented and that's acceptable here because we all accept mediocrity.
This wouldn't fly in private enterprise especially when we are paying beyond top dollar for this so called service (tax).
Perhaps if there is such a bloody backlog then we can redirect some of these 2000 or so bodies we are lead to believe will be wound dont off Irish water from local authority's, but sure no redeployment isnt allowed either is it.
Mediocrity and its acceptance, il never quite understand it.
If somebody wishes to sell there car to somebody in order to buy it back to avoid paying tax is there any implementation on the insurance if the said car is currently fully insured?? Or is there any negative to this that I don't know about?? Just looking to understand the system
(everybody should pay the outrageous road tax we have here in order to use our beautiful roads, even though most of the good roads are actually tolled anyway)
