2075.0. "Unable to drive car = tax rebate?" by BAHTAT::HILTON (Beer...now there's a temporary solution) Tue Apr 27 1993 11:38

    I've managed to break my leg, which means I probably can't drive my
    company car for 3 months or so.
    
    Can I get in touch with the taxman and get some kind of non-tax period
    while I am unable to drive?

You could try and get someone to take over the lease for 3
months and then you take it back on again after this period.
It's a bit of a fiddle, but it might work.

2075.3you think that's bad!CLADA::JFOYTue Apr 27 1993 14:4412
In Ireland they don't have ANY refund.
My road tax on my Supra is 660 pounds (yes, six hundred and sixty pounds!).
If you get a six-month disc (e.g. in case you are thinking selling) you pay an
extra 66 pounds.
The roads are absolutely cr*p!
The couple of new roads just opended (i.e. dual carriage) are TOLL roads.
...I could go on... 8^(

	phew! had to get that off my chest!

    Hey Greg, real sorry to hear you've broken your leg.
    Hope it mends real quick and you're soon out breaking the speed limit
    again :-)

Someone I knew managed to get his manager to hire an automatic after he broke
his leg skiing. He would drive with his left leg (which was quite tricky!)
