Online Taxing of Public Service Vehicles
The Online Motor Taxation Service at www.motortax.ie has been updated to include online taxing for holders of S.P.S.V. licences,Youth/Community Busses, Emergency Vehicles and certain Exempt Vehicles.
For Taxi/Hackney/Limousine’s (S.P.S.V. vehicles,) the service can be used where the vehicle is being taxed for the first time (new and imported) or renewed (except where the vehicle is being changed to S.P.S.V. from another tax class, as this requires submission of the V.L.C. to the Motor Taxation Office)
SPSV owners must enter the vehicle's registration number, PIN and their SPSV licence number on the website. Once this combination is confirmed, the owner is allowed access to the service.

The following tax classes can also be taxed online for renewals only, (first time applications must still be processed through the local Motor Taxation Office):
- Youth/Community Bus
