Taxing Tax

[The Trooper]

It's been aaaaaages since I last went to the post office to get tax on a car, can someone please confirm what I need to produce? I know you need an MOT certificate, but do you also need the insurance certificate too?

Many thanks,

Rob

Yep, you need the Reminder form, valid MOT and valid Insurance Certificate. Oh and the money....................

Reminder form? I'm not sure I have one of those, does that mean I can't tax it

the reminder form from the DVLA regarding renewing tax

IIRC its a V11 - normally, you get sent one through the post.

hmm I could be facing problems, I've just bought the car (but tax has expired), do I need to get in touch with the seller and get hold of it? Or is there anything else I can do?

Yes. It was. Just reminded me that I needed to check up on what I had to do with claiming back tax when you don't have the tax disc, so my reply took several minutes

As long as you have the green new keeper slip off the old V5 (i.e. off the V5 that was registered in the old owner's name) then you can tax it. You don't need to wait for the V5/2 to come back in your name to tax the car

Can also get Tax online, so no need to produce docs as its all on computer.

That is assuming you have the new style MOT though..................

Only just read this I've already sent it off. I need to wait for the insurance certificate anyway so hopefully they'll come in the post around the same time.
