MOTOR TAX PRINTING ERROR CORRECTED

Driver Vehicle and Licensing Northern Ireland has corrected a printing error in letters sent out to drivers here.

Ann McCabe of DVLNI explained: "Due to an error on the motor tax renewal application form the amount of duty payable was not printed. This may cause customers some problems when re-licensing at some Post Offices.

"However, new forms are being printed and will be posted out this week and we regret the inconvenience caused as a result of the printing error."

Customers will receive an amended form before their vehicle is due for re-licensing at the beginning of September.
