Failure To Renew Road Tax Extra Charges

Failure to renew your Road Tax can add serious financial penalties to a tax levy which has always been higher in Ireland than anywhere else in Europe.

Gardai in the Dundalk area are impounding cars caught at checkpoints with expired tax discs, but presumably those who are well outside the last expirary date.

Not alone are the impounded cars being kept at the Crescent Garda Station, but the overflow is being stores at Oriel Body Repairs in the industrial estate.

It would be safe to assume that merely presenting a current tax disc will not be enough to secure the release of one's vehicle, and that a hefty storage surcharge will apply in all cases. It is hardly possible that Oriel Repairs are providing storage free of charge.
