Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister of State for International & Road Transport, Logistics, Rail & Ports, I wish to advise that motor tax class changes are made by the vehicle owner. If a vehicle owner wishes to avail of the vintage vehicle rate, they must apply at a motor tax office using a Change of Particulars form (RF111 form) and submit relevant documentation.
Concessionary rates of motor tax for vintage vehicles have been in place since 1991. The lower rate of tax for vintage vehicles reflects the fact that vintage vehicles may be in limited use on the roads.
