andyofborg Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 All you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask https://www.gov.uk/vehicletaxrules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppet2 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 All you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask https://www.gov.uk/vehicletaxrules But it doesn't mention anything about how to tax your car if you buy it on a Sunday, which many private buyer's do, especially if they have to drive a distance to view and buy. Post offices aren't open on Sunday's or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post offices aren't open on Sunday's or online. You can do it using an automated telephone number..0300 123 4321 .. or do it online..

Post offices aren't open on Sunday's or online. It's easy to do online, I 'taxed' my partner's bike during the evening so it never closes, it only took a few minutes. As long as you have insurance and valid MOT of course. If you buy the VED towards the end of a month, you will still pay for the whole month, but that has always been the case. If you want to drive it or park on the road, you will need to buy the VED straightaway. If its parked off road you can SORN it, but how will you get it home?

And if anyone asks you'd best claim that it was driven to your house by the seller before you executed the transaction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin6 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Seems a lot of effort, just get the seller to knock £20 off the price, if it means that much to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
