The review of work permits will continue until the end of the year. Permit holders are asked to arrange a meeting anytime, preferably when the vehicle is brought in for examination.

Permit holders must also take along the receipt for the current hospital levy and employment tax return.

TCD also reminded permit holders that vehicles may be examined and relicensed four months prior to the expiration date.
