Its not as if it was used twice as much or anything. Please can someone justify it I see other 'victims ' are also loosing out for a month on road tax! Why and how are they allowed to do this? And when you try ringing it's useless , long waiting for a person to speak to , and they are on a number which means you are paying 12p per minute charge , Can this goverment dept be taken to task on all this diabolical situation!!
Can you advise please. Can I asked how George done the swap to son's car have asked my son same question and he has told me this can not be done if the car is put in ur name u have to go to the post office for 1st time tax on a car u have just bought. I paid the road tax on 27 July 16 and it finishing on 1 July 17 11 month road tax and charging for price of 12 month.
Thats really sad and poor system by dvla that's open cheatin. I bought a car privately on 29 June that required some major work and would be off the road for 2 or 3 weeks. On 30th went online to complete SORN but was advised that the car was still registered to previous owner. Tried again a week later, with the same response.
The V5C arrived 2 days ago with reminder about taxing it. As the car will be ready to go in a few days, I thought I may as well tax it - but online or by phone, am advised that it's due to be taxed from 1 June.
I expect however, that DVLA will chase it up. Where do I stand? Are you having a laugh DVLA? The system is fully stored on a computer these days,previously with Paper discs you were forced to have 1st of month, makes sense has the discs are printed. Now in , you mean to tell me you can't simply have a Tax registered date of the date purchased? Now that there is no need to print tax discs, there is absolutely no excuse for the tax not to start on any day of the month. I'm about to buy a scooter, but as it is already the 22nd day of the month, I will wait 9 days before taxing it, which seems rather ridiculous in the present circumstances.
Same here, we purchased our car on the 27th July and had 12 months tax, just received a reminder to say our tax is due 30 June, so why do we pay for 12 months tax when it's clearly 11 months?????
It tells me to start a whole new claim but when i do this it tells me my car is already taxed yeah i know this Problem is it says my new tax dosent start till next month? Does this mean i wont be covered until 1st of april or will my old tax be cancelled automatically when the new one starts or will it be cancelled straight away? Its such a pain why cant they just let you change your direct debit for gods sake!! This is ridiculous. Bought my car last year on 28 May and bought twelve months tax.
Reminder today that it expires on the 30 April - so effectively 11 months and 2 days tax for the cost of 12 months - all due to back dating. Perhaps I should have not bothered taxing my car for a few days and joined to mass of illegal drivers who don't bother paying Hi,im selling my car on the 30th of march,i was wondering how does the new owner avoid having to pay an additional months tax?
Im paying it by direct debit monthly. Should i just keep it going until the end of the month and then cancel my direct debit and then tell them to buy a tax disc then? Will it be alright for them to drive with my tax disc as my insurance covers it?
I Jst bought a new car! The DVLA is absolutely hopeless, and should be abolished. To add my 6p worth - now there is no road tax disc, it is not always possible to remember when it is due especially if you have a few vehicles. At least it used to be staring at you from the windscreen every time you drove.
You can't rely on DVLA to tell you when it is due for renewal - what you can rely on though is for them to send you a hefty fine if you forget. Today - I was thinking to myself - one of my bikes might be due for renewal at end of March but I have had no reminder -I will check on line. As it happens I have not used the bike since I taxed it due to mechanical problem, but if I had, and been spotted by ANPR or stopped by Police, what a palaver that would have involved in sorting that one.
As it is I just now need to calm down before I phone the most unhelpful Government Dept ever invented and ask for my money back Hi Andy I have just taxed my car tonight and it says it will need renewing So I have lost a month. I never owned car till now so how can that be lawful. Tags Tax Cars. Car tax - Timing it right, reminders and biscuits. The different tax bands explained.

Baker posted on on 21 March Waste of time and effort. You would be better employed following up on reported untaxed cars on your website. I've reported over a dozen in my street and you've totally ignored them. Tell the public why.!!!! Comment by Mark Wiltshire posted on on 21 March It's about time it's never been easier to tax a vehicle especially now u can pay monthly.
Comment by eric mckeown posted on on 21 March I am sorry to say this but no amount of threats will work. The people who commit these crimes do not read your E mails. Therefore the only answer is to act , convict, destroy vehicle. Comment by Margaret Werrett posted on on 21 March Well done also check their insurance and mot before they get their car back a car near me was clamped. Comment by Stephen posted on on 21 March Comment by Tony posted on on 21 March No excuse Comment by D Harri posted on on 21 March Well I've reported cars parked in my street by someone that is buying and selling vehicles with no tax or not on them and DVLA has not been around.
Comment by Angie posted on on 21 March Comment by John Gould posted on on 21 March Comment by Michael Newsham posted on on 21 March If you do not pay your road tax then it is your own stupidity if you have your car taken off you it is so easy to tax your car now and you can pay monthly.
Comment by Stephen woodhall posted on on 21 March Comment by Rob child posted on on 21 March About time it's easy to tax now.. No going to the post office handing all that money over in one hit Don't miss it comes out monthly Comment by Mohammed Aslam posted on on 21 March Comment by Harry posted on on 21 March Comment by E Brown posted on on 21 March Comment by Ralph Marwood posted on on 22 March Comment by Paul white posted on on 22 March Comment by Pam Chapman posted on on 22 March Easy peasy.
Stop dodging and start paying your way like the rest of us!! Comment by Steve posted on on 22 March If I have to pay for car tax then they should have to pay Comment by Eric posted on on 22 March I noticed there are a lot of favourable comments for catching untaxed road users but if the cost of road tax wasn't such a rip off maybe more people would tax their vehicles. Comment by Andy posted on on 22 March Seems all the comments are from dvla workers I have 4 vehicles insured, mot'd and taxed but I still think vehicle tax is legal robbery.
Comment by Les fid posted on on 22 March Comment by Bob Douglas posted on on 22 March Comment by Ken posted on on 22 March Stop messing about.
Check for tax, insurance and MOT and if they haven't got any of them, take the car and crush it. Comment by Beryl posted on on 22 March I totally agree with everything that has been said,why should they get away with it. Keep it up catch them all. Who knows we may get a reduction. Comment by Sarah Williams posted on on 22 March Comment by Mike posted on on 22 March I moved onto an estate 3 years ago and used the app on my phone " Is this car taxed" out of 6 cars I checked 2 had No tax, 2 were on SORN and 2 were legal and were being driven daily.
Chances are no insurance either. Carry on DVLA it's a great campaign!!! Comment by Alan Myers posted on on 22 March Comment by J Holloway posted on on 22 March Comment by Roy Northcote posted on on 22 March Great but tax dodgers should be fined very heavy say 5 years road tax don't clamp the cars but take them away and crush them,if they are over a certain value DVLA should be allowed to sell them to get some of the tax money back.
Comment by W Royal posted on on 22 March Comment by Mike P posted on on 22 March Comment by Kevin Bardsley posted on on 22 March Comment by Paul Topping posted on on 22 March Strange report. I had an untaxed vehicle parked outside my house earlier this year. I did Comment by Bazza posted on on 22 March Saw a car clamped in my area Plymouth man just cut clamp off, no one said anything and he drove the car off leaving clamp in road.
I think the car should be towed away immediately. Comment by Sarah posted on on 22 March We've had a van and car in our road that haven't been taxed since April last year.
Reported it over and over again even infomed the police who were not interested. DVLA stop talking the talk and do something about it. Look at your emails. I and my Brother reported a vehicle left outside his house after I was defrauded by a seller. Then Police. Vehicle will be removed and disposed of within 28 days.
Vehicle was not Roadworthy. No Tax. No Insurance. It Was removed a little over 6 months later!? NOW read the article again.
Comment by Brandon posted on on 22 March I agree with all the comments been given. This should have been done years ago. If people are on a low income and struggle to pay. Just put a little away each week then when its due you will have enough to pay it and won't miss it so much.
Comment by Chris posted on on 22 March Cartax should be added to fuel then it would be much more fair. As some people simply can't afford to run a car 7 days per week. Comment by Tom posted on on 22 March I've got three vehicles all taxed, mot'd and insured. Just taxed one of them using the monthly direct debit just to make sure I don't forget. Happy to report suspect vehicles. Comment by Matilda duck posted on on 22 March So a car in our street, that has been reported twice is still facing the wrong way on a one way street, no tax, no insurance.
Believe it when I see it! Comment by Toni Green posted on on 22 March I have reported an untaxed car with expired MOT several times on your website. But there it is everyday. Parks in the same spot so what is the point? Comment by Andrew McDonald posted on on 23 March Comment by Deadilus posted on on 23 March One of my neighbours has two cars - currently one has no tax from 1st Feb and I am reliably informed that the other had no insurance.
Comment by Ian Mackman posted on on 23 March The DVLA also has the power to clamp your vehicle so that it cannot be driven until the fine is paid. Remember, even if you own a vehicle that is exempt from paying tax, such as an electric car, you still need to register to tax your car. Being exempt simply means that you pay nothing. This form can be filled in so that your road tax is set up.
A V11 form is generally only sent to people who renew their tax each year via a local Post Office branch or over the phone. The form is split into three sections.
The first will show your name and address, registration number and the date the tax is due to expire. The middle section gives you the option to pay the tax, register the car as SORN or state that you no longer own the vehicle. The final section gives you the option to pay online, by phone or at a Post Office. Once your road tax has been set up as described above, it should automatically renew year on year, without requiring that you do anything else.
A letter will usually be sent to you that states the renewal date as well as the cost. The price of road tax can change, so you should make sure that you understand the new price, as well as why it might have increased or decreased. You should check that the correct amount comes out in the first month after the renewal date.
