Aug 1, 2016 · You can tax the car, and then cancel (reclaim unused months of) the tax once you sell. You'd lose out on one month's tax - i.e. it would cost you a month of tax, even if you sold a week into the month.
Aug 1, 2023 · Not had a road tax reminder for years - pay by Direct Debit is so much easier and no chance of forgetting. The DD is cancelled as soon as you notify sale of car, so no downside that I can see. Pay monthly or annually. I think if you register with honestjohn.co.uk you can get email reminders for road tax.
Aug 1, 2011 · They just issue fixed penalties from their records (£80 + pay for the tax disc from expiry of the old one) - you don't need to tell them (maybe your 2 months untaxed won't get picked up) 0 scheming_gypsy Posts: 18,410 Forumite
I don't think you do now! My renewal states that there is a new law that as long as the tax disc has been purchased online or by phone in the last few days of the previous month, you will not be committing an offence by not displaying a tax disc during the first 5 days of the following month to allow for the disc to arrive in the post (as long as you applied before current disc or Sorn expired).
Jan 4, 2016 · The quote from the DVLA says the code isn't valid until the 5th of the month my current tax expires in. As my tax expires at the start of Jan, the code isn't valid til 5 days later. Force ten: The problem is in my situation the tax runs out on the beginning of January, and the V11 code won't be valid until the 5th of January.
Feb 10, 2023 · Got my renewal letter but can't renew tax as the system says it can't find a current MOT. I assume by this it means that the system won't renew with something that's going to expire shortly. In an ideal world I would have got the MOT done sooner but the OH was in hospital and I didn't relish sitting at a Halfords or wherever for 2 - 3 hours twiddling my thumbs.

Jan 26, 2006 · There's a penalty of £80 for failure to renew a tax disc and a fine of £1,000 for driving a car without a tax disc. You are unlikely to get the £80 penalty if the new disc starts on the day after the old one expired, but you can still get caught (e.g. by the Police) for having an untaxed car on the highway.
What you should do is 1. SORN it today online 2. Obtain nsurance from the 1st Oct and get certificate 3. Tax it to be valid from the 1st Oct on or after the 25th September but the post office probably don't know there is a restriction of 5 days prior only (where there has been a break in Tax) and they would probably allow it to be paid for from 15 days prior.
