I got a new car - can I get credit for the plates I bought for my old car because I don't drive it anymore?
We cannot give credit for transfer from a car that you still own, even if you no longer drive that car. Most of the tax you're paying on your car is not a use tax - it's an ownership tax, similar to the tax on your house. Actually driving the car or not doesn't make a difference.
