car taxing

[stevvieboi]

hi folks does anyone know how to tax a car?

 

my car has just being written off, and

 

 

i got another from the car auction last week,

 

 

it came without the reg doc,

 

 

i just presumed i could tax it by filling out a form at the post office,

 

 

it is motd and insured and went today to tax it,

but was informed i could not tax it as i dont have the reg doc

and even by filling out the form to get a new reg doc i still cant tax it,

 

 

then was informed it will prob take 4-6 weeks before i get the new reg doc back,

 

 

in the meantime i cant drive my new car now,

 

 

these new rules seem to stick as now i am stuck for my work as i cant tax the new car,

and will have to prob hire a car till the new reg doc arrives grrrrr

 

 

does anyone know a way round this

Apply at a Post Office

 

You can apply at a Post Office that issues vehicle tax.

You’ll need:

 

• your V5C registration certificate or new keeper supplement (V5C/2)
  
• a completed V62 ‘application for a registration certificate’ if you don’t have a V5C (and an application fee of £25)
  

If required, you’ll also need:

 

• payment for your vehicle tax
  
• an MOT test certificate (it must be valid when the vehicle tax starts)
  
• a valid reduced pollution certificate
  

 

 

So you can renew without a log book.

If you do not have the V5C or the V5C2, you can tax a vehicle by using a V62, however this only applies if you are the registered keeper of the vehicle. As you have only just bought the vehicle, you will not be the registered keeper. You will still need to complete the V62 to apply to become the registered keeper, but this process can take up to 6 weeks as you were advised at the post office. Only once you have been added as the registered keeper, can you tax the vehicle.

The new owner wouldn't be able to use the form as his personal details will be different.

 

 

Even if it could somehow be used, it would tax it in the old owners name, so as soon as the new owners V62 was processed, the old owner would get a refund of the remaining months tax and the new owner would then have to tax the vehicle again.
