Road tax question

[Roly]

My 600 Hornet has been sat in my conservatory for a few months so is 'off road' but I haven't sorned it. Just used for a trackday. But I now want to tax and insure.

Anyone know if I can do 6 months and how much it is? Someone told me it had to ne 12 months these days!

Thanks

6 months, around £31

I could be totally wrong here, but if the bike hasn't been SORN'ed and hasn't been taxed for a couple/few months.... can't the DVLA (try to) charge you for the months it wasn't taxed?

Just saying because when I went to tax my gpz the woman at the post office said it was showing there was tax due and the DVLA might try to claim it back at some point (didn't hear anything back about it though)

Yes its MOT'd. A mate of mine 'thought' that I would have to tax for 12 months though. He is an MOT tester/Biker btw, but Im not sure.

Guess I'll just have to try!

401-600cc
12 months £57
6 months £31.35

Over 600cc
12 months £78.00
6 months £42.90

Its only the 400cc and below bikes that arent available to be taxed for 6 months

I'd make sure you SORN it next time though, can't remember the exact rules but i know a mate of mine who failed to declare it SORN when the tax expired got a fine in the post from DVLA. That may be if it is, or isn't insured and untaxed though - not sure which

Do you mean tax as in speeding fines or vehicle excise duty?
