nat85 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Does anyone know how long can you leave it before you tax your car? Its due today but I'm not able to tax it till 8th... Is that too late? Thanks (I would phone dvla but there on strike!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yes thats too late I think, you are expected to do it before your tax runs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Unless it is kept unused and off the public highway. You might get stung for not declaring SORN if you don't tax it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_shef Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I believe that technically it is illegal from the day after the road tax has expired... However you may have some leniency before the govt begins to prosecute. That is the case where I am. I would try calling the dvla again, is there an option to leave a recorded voicemail with your reason and your reg number? It would have to be an appropriate (for lack of a better word) reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy266 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I would not count on any leniency though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madgesmum Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Isn't it all done electronically these days? Don't think "It's in the post" would work. Not like in the olden days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
