erol_h Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 my friends mum was ill and forgot about her roadtax and 4months after hers finished she realised and went and got a new tax for the month we were in. I dont think she had any problems from what i could remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Have you checked the car is definitely registered in your name? It's very odd that they wouldn't give you a reminder. I'd expect a fine in some form, my cousin was several weeks late with renewing his tax and he received a fine over a year later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 how much will ya have to pay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If your SORN it you will not be charged for the missing months. In fact, even if you tax it they shouldn't charge you if you do it at the post office. As has been mentioned, best to check your V5 and ensure your correct name and address is on it.

themodifiedkid Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Shouldn't be a problem, as what Homer says, just do it at the post office and tell them you don't have a reminder, they don't know wen it ran out??!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
