custom-conversions Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 They are making it difficult for traders to TAX vehicles now. The vehicle needs to be in your own name, which is understandable really as it proves that the new owner has insurance cover. It would be unreasonable for the Police / DVLA to fine the owner for moving a vehicle without tax if it has just been purchased. But I wouldn't be surprised if its happened to people before!

max-ie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Whilst on the subject, what's the law regarding driving home a vehicle from place of purchase, which has an MOT but no road tax, and the driver has insurance cover? Hi, the vehicle has to display a valid VEL if it is situated on a road maintained at public expence. Whether you'd get prosecuted under these circs is up to the individual officer that pulled you over. Some would and others would just warn you.

NicTheOrange90 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 the tax starts from the first of whichever month or last day of that month. so if you buy before the 30th/31st of that month, you will lose one month of tax as the disc you get will be from the first of that month. if bought 30/31 then it is from that day. the police have to give you the benefit of the doubt on this as it happened to me. you can get the garage to buy it for you as they have an open policy for any vehicle which is mot'd. richard Not sure Id agree with the above comments Offence = FAILING TO DISPLAY EXCISE LICENCE , Non Endorsable, £60.00 fine, 0 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
