car tax question.

[coco69]

My dad has bought a 2nd hand car and isnt taxed,he has since insured it and has the green slip.

His insurance documents havent arrived in the post so my question is, can the car be taxed online using just the green slip?

 

[tjsc1]

I would imagine....yes!!
DVLA makes computer check for insuranceMOT, its all linked up, etc before it accepts money for Road Tax. If he is insured it will be on insurance computer!!

No-one pays road tax. Road tax was abolished by Winston Churchill in the thirties. They do pay car tax though, it's called Vehicle Exise Duty and it's a tax.

..and of course cars are subject to VAT so tax is unavoidable.

VED not QED.

its worth a try online if a few days have passed since the V5 was sent off to get the new one, as it may be on the system but the paper copy may be in the post.

dunno how the online thing works. she does it all.

Online VED might need a special reference no. It does when renewing year on year

What you mean is, it's not road tax. VED is still a tax, and you pay it on a car. ergo it can be described as car tax.

You need the reference on your V5C so can't tax without it unless you receive a tax notification.

there you go. SWMBO would have been able to tell me. she does the taxing of cars

Don't remember anyone ever having said to me that I don't pay car tax. What a strange idea
