Just put a "tax in the post" note on the dash....you can get away with a few months..... I did about 20years ago... Doesn't work like that now letsavit . . . since we don't have tax disc's displayed on our windscreens, all the information is stored on DVLC's database so is easily checkable whether a vehicle is taxed or not. Having paid up to £280 a year for my Old Girl, to now have a Pupmobile that requires no tax ( although you still have to go through the procedure ) is for me amazing. And, a month's worth of petrol has only cost £11.00!

Don't know why the government picked on it...... Tax on mine now is/was only 30quid or something and it's no slouch, still have the old disc for another month or two... Or can I take it out of the window now? Edit.. Looks like I can remove mine now, not sure if I'm ready yet.... End of an era...

I've been pottering locally mostly letsavit . . . . which is why I decided to go for something that didn't bankrupt me to keep on the road. End of an era indeed, feels very strange not displaying a tax disc.

I'd bet there is a way around this.... The DVLA aren't total monsters - I've f** up more than most over the years and they tend to treat folk fairly based on a clear "intent". I don't see why one months road tax should be paid twice, especially for a vehicle transfer between spouses. Phone them.
