Hi pov, I've just had a look on the DVLA website. I cannot find a specific time scale for declareing SORN but I think I saw on a thread on here somewhere that you have 14 days from tax running out. You need to SORN it asap you can do that on line on the DVLA website. Hopefully someone will be along soon with more knowlege than me on this matter to advise you as whether you would be wise to back date the tax a month.

I presume your car has a current MOT on it for you to back date tax if necessary. In the meantime make sure your car is not parked on a public highway. At the moment you are commiting an offence and are liable for a fine.
