[magpie]

here's the deal ,i want to tax the e30 from 1st april but it's bank holiday monday the car is sorned so will i be able to do it on the saturday before at the post office ?

Yep. 5 days prior to the day you want it to start is the maximum ahead you can do it

Failing that do it on line, you run the risk of being fined for failure to display the disc but it would have to be a bell end of a police officer to do that

Do it online, if you get pulled they can check its been paid for.

i don't think they will tax it 5 days before with it not being taxed for the previous month i.e march

I've done it 5 days pre hand before

[magpie]

so you get 5 extra days early

Do it at the post office, i lost a months road tax by doing it online for the astra . The car was untaxed and nor was it sorn'd. I'd bought the car from blackbushe and was awaiting the V5 in the post, although i did apply for the tax on the 27th feb thinking it was the 28th.

oh well, it had been sat on my drive since the 2nd feb so was eager to find out if id bought a lemon.

[magpie]

did you not put the date of when you want the tax to start ? or did it just automatically rip you off .had the car been out of tax for one month and with it not being sorned you got stuffed for that previous month being the new keeper and buying it the beginning of feb ?

i hate paying taxes and being ripped off a month is a double blow

[kangman]

I got automatically shafted. The car hadn't been taxed since last year shocking how little its been on road for a 3year old car, I think im going to put it up for sale tho. A 1.6 auto is gutless to say the least..

[magpie]

right so they just started it from the month you bought the car ,you should of sorned it mate.

[kangman]

I never had the V5 to sorn it, i should have called them directly. But i think me buying it on the 27th could have had some part to do with it

If the 1st is a Monday and a bank holiday you will be able to tax from the Wednesday, 3 days before 1st of the month from what they tell me at my post office
