Road Tax

[Frost]

Well i bought a bike (logbook crap is still being sorted out) and its not taxed. i have the following for it:

Liecence
V5
Insurance certificate
MOT certificate

All it needs now is a tax disk. However i have no idea is the bike is declaired SORN or if the last tax disk was just lost. The last time i taxed a bike i was sent a V11 form to inform me that the tax was about to expire. This time i have no forms etc to fill in.

So do i need to contact the DVLA? obtain forms? or just go intot he post office, give them my documents and pay them money?


Danke

Yup, you don't need the reminder and I don't believe it matters if it's declared SORN as buying the tax will correct that.

Just take your documents as listed, though your license isn't needed, to your nearest Post Office which issues road tax and pay the amount needed. That's the way I've always done mine as I never seem to get a reminder through the post.

Post Office, show them the docs and give em the cash.

When you get a SORN next time you just take that in and they scan it, show them the docs give em the cash and you're done.

Edit - Forgot, keep your helmet on when you go in and shout, "Give us the cash and no-one will get hurt". Makes them more attentive. Be aware that you may be shot on the way out though.
