Tax Question

Bod · Traffic Copper Joined: 18 Mar 2004 Karma :

Hi all, I am having my bike MOT'd tomorrow, now the only thing I don't have is the V5, I have a copy of it though. Can I still get tax at the post office by filling out a form?
Cheers
Bod

u might get lucky, but i would imagine you would need the orriginals as they do look at the forms before they stamp your disc

I'm not sure, I'm in the same boat here so would like to know.

I do know that there is a £19 charge for a replacement V5, even if you have never had one from a previous owner (like me). Something to do with making it harder for the crooks to get duplicate V5s and use them for cloning/ringing stolen bikes I think.

Have you got the reminder letter from the DVLA?
You only need the V5 if you don't have that letter.

Does that help?

Can you not fill in a form of some sort when you do not have a V5, I did this when I was transfering my reg plate from one car to another and did not have the V5

I think Bod is right, I'm not sure of the form code but on a number of occasions, when I've recently aquired the bike and not had the V5, they have given me a different form, taxed the bike, and had the V5 sent to me.

The form you need is a V62 and it will cost you £19.

Don't know if there is a form to fill in at the post office there and then, but a V62 is the form to request a new V5 if it's been lost or stolen. Send your V62 and a cheque/postal order for around £19 to the DVLA and if the admin fairy likes you they'll send you a V5 back Wink

The V5 is still with the former owner, but me being and impatient tw*t want to tax it tomorrow. So its not stolen or lost?

Sadie · World Chat Champion Joined: 14 Jul 2004 Karma :

Use the V62 if the V5 was not given to you by the previous owner.

Will it still cost me £19 though?

Sadie · World Chat Champion Joined: 14 Jul 2004 Karma :

Yes, unfortunately.

It only won't cost you if you have the new keeper's supplement from the last V5, or if the last Registration Certificate was destroyed by an insurance company because the vehicle is categorised as "C" salvage.

I have a new keepers bit for a different bike so I may just flash them that and may get through that way Very Happy

if not it will probably be the blasted weekend before I can go on it (legally that is) Wink

Why don't you have the new keepers bit for the new bike - that part is yours.

You won't get away with flashing any other V5/2 - as they take all the forms in and check them one by one.

I was supposed to collect everything from the guy on saturday morning before he went away. He forgot about the meeting and left. So I do not have the V5, I'll try my best tomorrow, may get lucky, if not balls to it I'll pay the 19 pounds.

It's not hard to make a document in Word which looks enough like insurance paperwork to get tax. Only did this when was waiting for insurance company to send through paperwork with the registration plate right and needed to get tax. Razz

I have my MOT now so Ill print out a copy of the bikes V5 and take that in with me, and fill in the v62, hopefully they won't charge me, if they want to charge me then stuff it. I will wait till tomorrow for the V5
