You can choose to renew your motor tax in person in our office here in Offaly County Council, or you can now use the Motor Tax Online service.
When your Motor Tax is due to expire, you should receive a reminder in the post - this is actually a renewal form (RF100b). This form will act as a quick start for your renewal process, particularly if you want to use the Online service - just take note of the P.I.N. number on this letter.
Taxing your vehicle using the Online Motor Tax Service
It is now possible to renew your motor tax 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online at www.motortax.ie. At the moment this service is only available for private vehicles.

Taxing your vehicle through our office
The Motor Tax Renewal Form, RF100b, is the reminder form sent to you about two weeks before your tax is due to expire.
