The last day to renew road tax for 2025 is Tuesday, March 11 at midnight, the transport ministry reiterated on Monday.

As of March 6, permits for 627,024 vehicles had been renewed, according to the road transport department (Tom).

Registration permits can be renewed for a period of three, six, nine and twelve months, while any permits applied for after Tuesday will be subject to €10 fine, as well as an added ten per cent of the amount due for the current year.

Owners who renewed their road tax for 2024 but do not intend to renew it for the year 2025 must submit a notice to the road transport department for the vehicle’s immobilisation. Immobilisation can also be done online on the department’s website here.

Vehicles with no road tax for 2024 and which have not been declared as immobilised will be deleted from the Tom register if the amount due for 2024 and 2025 is not paid.

In the event of the vehicle’s destruction, an application for cancellation of the vehicle registration (Form 98A) must be submitted to Tom accompanied by a certificate of destruction, issued by a licensed scrap metal facility to exempt the owner from fees as of the date of destruction.

Finally, the department recalled that no notices of fees due had been sent out and owners are called to update their contact details on the Tom registry to receive communication.
