tax discs and new law

[Peasgood]

What's all the fuss about the PO not being open when you want to tax your new car?

Never ever bothered me to drive an untaxed home and still not bothered.

Years ago when times were hard I was running a car with no tax, eventually got pulled and fined (I blame the missus for insisting we went to town shopping on xmas eve, always were roadblocks back then) Fine was less than the tax I hadn't paid!

 

Ran one car for a fortnight last month with no tax, other car has done about 1k miles this month with no tax. Seen plenty of police when out with both.

Tax will be paid and it will get backdated, nobody loses out. Same with new system, just the selling cars with tax bit that bothers me.

So if you had no tax wouldn't your insurance be void?

:confused1:Why?????

Well if you have no mot then your insurance is void. I just wondered if it is the same with tax.

Sorry if I've missed a post in this thred but how will this affect a nill rated tractor, will I still need to apply to have nothing sent too me and pay nothing to have the valtra logged on the daterbase yearly :what: Or will the system be clever anough too do it automatically till told otherwise.

And when selling a tractor do I get a £0.00 refund transfered to my account

You still need to register annually.

How is that your answer??

[Hodge]

Well the bit in yellow is off the back of a tax disc, and while some insurance company's will void insurance when vehicle has no tax some may not. The fact is it's an offence to not have tax. So I got my answer.

Where have you heard some will??

 

No MOT means the vehicle may not be road worthy so its a condition of insurance to have MOT, how would no tax affect the insurer, what if you SORN the car but keep it insured???
