Tax/Insurance

[Charlotte]

Hi!

If I bought a months insurance for my car from my insurance company would they allow me to tax the car or not?

Thanks

 

[custard]

they? the DVLA,post office ,fashion police?
if you mean without any paper to produce then no.

point is why only a month?you can get a full policy and cancel it.
i dont see an issue as long as its insured

dont see any reason why not, all you need is an insurance cover note.
you can get monthly bike insurance, n they have to tax em...................

but as custard says why a month? get it then cancel within the 14day cooling off period..................

 

[custard]

perfectly legitimate if for example you want ot tax a car thats going ot be parked up on the road.

Yes the fashion Police

If I get a full month and cancel within the 14 days does that mean they will not take any payments from my bank account. I was a bit worried about setting up a whole new policy with my insurance company and having insurance on both cars for the duration. Just want to tax the vehicle in order for it to sell better.........

As long as the insurance is vaild for the day that you tax the car, then you should be able to tax it. However once your insurance runs out, you can not legally drive you car.

Gotcha, am not too bothered about driving it just want to tax it to sell it with the tax. But can't tax it without insuring it. :idea:

how would they know anyway, it takes a few weeks for insurance to tell them you've got insurance...

Just to note, things like dayinsure can not be used for tax purposes and they state as much.

am not too bothered about driving it just want to tax it to sell it with the tax

You could always get The Driver to drive it for you

Sell me your car! :hug:

I taxed the Cinq on a weeks temporary insurance, when it was on the Brava's policy. Cost me a tenner for a week to add it on
