715. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the reason a person (details supplied) in County Donegal was made to pay motor tax arrears for a vehicle which was off road as the owner did not have in their possession the log book to tax the vehicle, despite them contacting the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport requesting the said document on numerous occasions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The issue of a vehicle registration certificate is a matter for the nister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and I have no function in the matter.

Motor tax is payable from the date of transfer of vehicle ownership notified to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. All outstanding arrears of motor tax must be paid for the period between the date of transfer and the taking out of a motor tax disc for the vehicle.
