It happened to me last year.
First up, it was a fair cop and I deserved the collar, that said it was an expensive day.
Got stopped in swords , had one of the lads bring me to Ballymun to get the tax , this is where my meter started clicking.......
Pay the arrears
Pay the next three months
Taxi to sentry Garda station to get approved stamp
Taxi to from santry to lusk (there's some kudos here to the driver for being gentle on the bill)
Into the impound lot - they do not take laser BTW
Pay the impound fee
Kept smiling the whole time as it was only my fault , and it cost me about 700e for that smile.

Question.
If a car has been off the road for a few months and has not been declared off the road but is then sold, Will the previous off the road term have to be paid or declared by the original/previous owner ?
RE: PLEASE READ: Off the road declaration/SORD
a lot of guys are transferring ownership of the car from themselves to someone else to avoid paying back tax (if they forogt to do the declaration). So that means that the back tax is no longer applicable for the new owner. I dont; think the motor tax system is smart enough (yet) to go after the previous owner for back tax after a car is sold. Only a matter of time though.

RE: PLEASE READ: Off the road declaration/SORD

I collected the car this morning just had to go to the station and show my license and insurance/log book documents they gave me a release form for the impound yard,the recovery driver was actually in the cop station so he gave me a lift to his yard and i paid €125 release fee and i was on my way....no need to show tax for the car....the system in place is really flawed if you look at it this way my car tax for the year costs €1500 if i dont tax the car and it gets seized 4 times a year it will only cost €125 a time to get it back so €500 for a year..i will be taxing it this week anyway..but just for future reference if anyone else's car gets seized..
