A quick heads up to folk,

most, like me would renew their vehicle tax a few days before it runs out, However this is no longer possible,

Tax on Vectra expires 31/10/14, i have just tried to renew and it wanted me to pay from 01 October , this is an outrage. i'm trying to be legal but it makes me renew at 0001 hrs 1st nov to be legal, i work shifts and unless i acess work comp for "personal use" i'm illegal

My car tax was due on 1st October, I got the reminder saying that from now on there will be no paper disc, went online 25th September and taxed it, no problems, I think that there is a seven day 'grace' period when you can still drive your car if its not taxed, I might have dreamt that though

The grace period was and is an urban myth, the was never a grace period, it was just that before ANPR it was nearly impossible for a copper to check...........so now definitely no grace period.

The new rules came in on 1st oct , so the 25 sept was as before.

You can renew 14 days before the due date WITH a reminder reference number from DVLA. As this is only issued to a veh that is taxed, the new tax with start from 1 of next month as a continuation.

Its idiot proof!

If your Insurance or MOT are out of date.....it wont let your renew!

The 'Grace Period' did exist, but was just misunderstood... it was for displaying the tax disc if it was bought before the old one expired. I suppose it was to cover delays in the post.

So, since we longer have paper discs, this is irrelevant.
