What to do about no tax???

[93tone]

I bought myself a suzuki gs500 last week and just got it MOT'd today? But it has no tax because I haven't got the V5 back and it won't let me do it online. (Obviously for the first time ever the government don't want my money). It has Insurance too but what do I do if the rozzers stop me or am I not allowed to ride?

You're not allowed to ride with no tax unless it's to/from a pre-arranged MOT appointment.

You should be able to by tax though using the new keepers slip from the V5. Just take the new keepers slip, your MOT certificate and your insurance certificate to the post office and buy some tax.

Tax with a Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement – in person or by post

You can tax in person at any Post Office® branch that issues tax discs.

You will need to take:

Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement
insurance certificate or cover note – must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
valid MOT certificate - if the car or motorcycle is over three years old - must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)

You can also tax at a DVLA local office or by post to selected Post Office® branches.

You will need:

Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement
a completed V10 'Vehicle licence application'
insurance certificate or cover note – must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
valid MOT certificate - if the car or motorcycle is over three years old - must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)

The New Keeper Supplement can only be used for taxing at the Post Office for two months from the date you bought your vehicle. However, the DVLA Local Office will accept it for taxing up to thirteen months from your purchase date. If it’s out of date, you’ll need to apply for a Registration Certificate in your name – please see Taxing without a Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement’ below.

Don't tax it until tomorrow so you get a full month

You were given part 10 of the V5C form right?

If you have any part of the log book a P/O is ok but if it's not in your name you also need a log book application form, if you havn't any part of the log book you need to apply for a new log book, I tried at a DVLA office with all the doc's to tax + a log book application form, they wouldn't tax it but had the application form & it took a few weeks to come through, I'd waited long enough to get the bike so 2 weeks longer for a full months tax wasn't a problem.
