And when you try ringing it's useless , long waiting for a person to speak to , and they are on a number which means you are paying 12p per minute charge , Can this goverment dept be taken to task on all this diabolical situation!!

Can you advise please. Can I asked how George done the swap to son's car have asked my son same question and he has told me this can not be done if the car is put in ur name u have to go to the post office for 1st time tax on a car u have just bought.

I paid the road tax on 27 July 16 and it finishing on 1 July 17 11 month road tax and charging for price of 12 month. Thats really sad and poor system by dvla that's open cheatin. I bought a car privately on 29 June that required some major work and would be off the road for 2 or 3 weeks. On 30th went online to complete SORN but was advised that the car was still registered to previous owner. Tried again a week later, with the same response.

The V5C arrived 2 days ago with reminder about taxing it. As the car will be ready to go in a few days, I thought I may as well tax it - but online or by phone, am advised that it's due to be taxed from 1 June.

I expect however, that DVLA will chase it up. Where do I stand? Are you having a laugh DVLA? The system is fully stored on a computer these days,previously with Paper discs you were forced to have 1st of month, makes sense has the discs are printed. Now in , you mean to tell me you can't simply have a Tax registered date of the date purchased?

Now that there is no need to print tax discs, there is absolutely no excuse for the tax not to start on any day of the month. I'm about to buy a scooter, but as it is already the 22nd day of the month, I will wait 9 days before taxing it, which seems rather ridiculous in the present circumstances. Same here, we purchased our car on the 27th July and had 12 months tax, just received a reminder to say our tax is due 30 June, so why do we pay for 12 months tax when it's clearly 11 months?????

It tells me to start a whole new claim but when i do this it tells me my car is already taxed yeah i know this Problem is it says my new tax dosent start till next month? Does this mean i wont be covered until 1st of april or will my old tax be cancelled automatically when the new one starts or will it be cancelled straight away? Its such a pain why cant they just let you change your direct debit for gods sake!! This is ridiculous.

Bought my car last year on 28 May and bought twelve months tax. Reminder today that it expires on the 30 April - so effectively 11 months and 2 days tax for the cost of 12 months - all due to back dating. Perhaps I should have not bothered taxing my car for a few days and joined to mass of illegal drivers who don't bother paying Hi,im selling my car on the 30th of march,i was wondering how does the new owner avoid having to pay an additional months tax?

Im paying it by direct debit monthly. Should i just keep it going until the end of the month and then cancel my direct debit and then tell them to buy a tax disc then? Will it be alright for them to drive with my tax disc as my insurance covers it?

I Jst bought a new car! The DVLA is absolutely hopeless, and should be abolished. To add my 6p worth - now there is no road tax disc, it is not always possible to remember when it is due especially if you have a few vehicles. At least it used to be staring at you from the windscreen every time you drove. You can't rely on DVLA to tell you when it is due for renewal - what you can rely on though is for them to send you a hefty fine if you forget.

Today - I was thinking to myself - one of my bikes might be due for renewal at end of March but I have had no reminder -I will check on line. As it happens I have not used the bike since I taxed it due to mechanical problem, but if I had, and been spotted by ANPR or stopped by Police, what a palaver that would have involved in sorting that one.

As it is I just now need to calm down before I phone the most unhelpful Government Dept ever invented and ask for my money back Hi Andy I have just taxed my car tonight and it says it will need renewing So I have lost a month. I never owned car till now so how can that be lawful. Tags Tax Cars. Car tax - Timing it right, reminders and biscuits. The different tax bands explained.
