buying a newish car, on the first of march from a bloke i work with, but its only got one month tax on it after that date, runs out the end of the month,
do you think i would get the new v5 in time to tax it or can i tax it without the v5?>
cheers mark.

 

If you keep hold of the V5C New keeper section of the V5 like it tells you to then you'll have no problems taxing with that. Failing that get the tax reminder off the person you are buying it from.

 

V5 will take about 2 weeks to arrive, if the last piece of crap i bought is anything to go by!

 

I taxed a car last month using the new keeper supplement after the DVLA told me it wasn,t possible to do so. I guess it depends how picky the person at the Post Office is

 

You can also get a form in the psot office so u can tax it without the V5c can't u?

 

No.

You MUST have the V5, V5/C New Keeper Supplement or the Tax reminder. Without one of these 3 you willnot be able to tax any vehicle.

 

Ring the DVLA and tell them the situation. I did this last month with my car, gave me 1 months grace to get the paperwork sorted and the car taxed.

Fortunalty got the paperwork just before the xmas break and managed to tax it.

 

You need to visit a DVLA offfice and you can fill everything out there.. New owner form, tax etc etc.

Done this a few times as I kept losing paperwork when I moved..


They do charge about £15 I believe but gets it all sorted and car taxed
