Buying car tax online

Post by unknownmale »

I swear you used to be able to just buy car tax online for a sorn car to retax it.

I just tried and it's saying I have to go into the post office?

Ok, so it turns out if you sorn a car online, then you can't tax it online for a set period of time (Guy on the phone didn't know how long) but the post office use a different system, so I have to go in there to tax it...Seems a little bazaar to me, but hey!

Not had any issues retaxing my Mk1 Rocco on-line last week (still in March, so had to pay for the full month), which I had SORNED end of September last year.

Yeah, you would only have issues if you declared it Sorn within a couple week of wanting to tax it.
