Is my car taxed. So, yes, of course that tax covers March.

Is my car taxed So I went on the Govt Gateway, updated and removed the co car benefit, and the website advised me my new code is 256T. The vehicle could become unroadworthy after going through the MOT in a roadworthy state. A valid MOT does not make a car roadworthy, it just means it is probably roadworthy at the point of the test. THIS IS SUCH A RIP OFF In December I went to the DVLA in Chelmsford to have my private number plate transfered onto my car and they told me they would send me a new Log Book in the post. The MOT test does not check everything. So I looked on the DVLA site where you can put your registration details in and it tells you if the car is taxed and mot'd and it said it wasn't taxed. My car was due to be taxed on Saturday 31st January and since I hadnt recieved it by Friday 30th January I rang them up and told them I still hadnt recieved it. I then rang the DVLA - the woman looked it up and said it's not showing as taxed because the details hadn thats incorrect, you automatic get refund for unused month of your current tax year when you registered your car for tax class disabled then you have to write to refunds,DVLA, Swansea SA99 1LA to explain that your pip was backdated and you are asking for a refund from the date it was backdated,together with tax receipt (dont think that is important, they can tell) The car has presumably been off the road and as such no tax is required. I taxed my car on the 14th of January last year and was expecting to renew it around the same time but the DVLA site says the tax ran out on the 1st of this month! Is this how it works now, you stand to lose an entire month if you apply for tax at the end of the month? Because it is an offence to have an unroadworthy car on the road. Bought car over a month ago but DVLA are dragging their heels about sorting out a V5C for me so I can't tax, SORN or do anything with it as I don't have the relevant bits of paper (don't ask; long story). However it is still showing as taxed for a year to 2020 on DVLA website. You will pay to tax the vehicle when you collect it, (unless of course it's zero rated). I checked my bank statement and an email which confirmed I had paid to have it taxed.

Depending on when you collect the car you may have to pay an additional month for the benefit of a few days but you certainly won't need to pay from October. DVLA website only updates daily / overnight also, but the confirmation e-mail is sufficient for the time being. So, yes, of course that tax covers March If you weren't planning on using the car before the end of March, you should have left taxing it until the end of March The OP is taxed - if the payment was made after the "end of day" on Friday, the payment will be pending until bank working hours on Monday (and may not show until the overnight update runs). . You taxed the car with one third of March remaining. The actual figures I am working off are as follows: Gross salary 18/19 £42k Tax code for last 6 months with company car 256L (HMRC have my co car benefit as £9288) 11850 less 9288 is £2562, or code 256L, all good. wuckoqu zzpe lgw enbe yrsny otyjp fed ivwyn pdks adgor
