Evening all, ok my car tax runs out on the 31/08/10 and i get paid on the 3/09/10..... question is do i have to SORN it for the 2 days that i wont have tax? (it will be in a garage off road for the 2 days)?? do i get any "grace"? And if i do SORN it on the 31st and pay for it on the 3rd september will i lose a month or just the 2 days???
Thanks in advance
Paul. (hope thats clear what i just said)
you get 5 days grace or something like that iirc...you shouldnt have any problems for 3 days TBH, just dont drive it anywhere and keep it on private property
Signature not as cool as Paul's
When you tax it the tax will start from the 31/08/2010
Thanks for the quick replys, so i might as well just SORN it just to be on the safe side as i will only lose 2 days as we55kitzo said!?
Cheers fellas
Paul.
no point sorning the car...for 3-4 days they wont really say much to you as long as the car isnt on the road

ok i wont SORN the car! cheers grim,we55kitzo.

if late registration want to they will do you for not declaring SORN for the days it's untaxed regardless, THEY told me this.Originally Posted by Grim Reaper
when it comes to TAX there is NO grace period AT ALL, treat them like the Nazis they are cos that's how they will treat you.
A car always needs to be taxed or SORN'd at all times
You've had 6 or 12 months notice that the tax was running out so there's no excuse really that you aren't taxing it by the end of the month
go to the post office tomorrow and write a cheque, should clear the day or just after you get paid.

thanks for that guys....."A car always needs to be taxed or SORN'd at all times".... im not taking any chances! im SORN..ing on-line now!]
Thanks for all your replys.
Paul.
Tax it at the PO with a cheque?
They're there, in their room.
you probably didn't want to do that as the DVLA are now asking that all SORN cars must send in the V5 log book for the new RED ones to be issued to them.

I've had cars sitting for over a week before I sorned or taxed them. Never had any problem

bad advice to be giving out though.
I agree
But I'm just giving an example that aslong as the car isn't used he won't have a problem for 3 days
Signature not as cool as Paul's
I think I left mine over a week, then did it on line, and they didn't say anything, but I thought it was up to 14 days.

I've left mine for a few weeks too, the woman at the post office told me they would be in conact, also a few years ago I rang the late liscence people and they said there is no grace at all.
I suppose as long as the rate of duty gets paid then they wont persue you.
Just had a look on the DVLA site, and it says you don't get a grace period, even if you taxs runs out on the Sunday, it needs to be done the Saturday. Gyts!

One of my cars TAX is out tomorrow. I am off on Hol on the 1st of Sept for 3 weeks. I've not bothered SORNing the car, i've just TAX'd it so it's out of the way. Ok it is only £30 for the year, but still.
Other 2 cars, I have booked MOT'S for the day after I get back. MOT isn't as tight as TAX.
£30 a year,what you got,a basic spec polo?
i hate the world
Some cars have no tax and I do not mean the ones that got a tax free status after 25 years (now abolished as of at least 10 years ago!).
I will guess at a Pug 107 1.0!
