Sorn problems !!

[biggsy 10]

Hi all

 

Have SORN expiry dates been scrapped now please??

 

I just tried doing it online (Each January for my li'l Midget) and it says it's already SORN:confused:

 

I definitely haven't done it this year

 

 

Has anyone else tried SORN'ing a car and had the same thing??

 

 

Cheers, Biggsy

The Continuous Enforcement Scheme is part of a package to remove red tape. Let us consider the other elements. Motorists that own vehicles that are not in use must – as has been the case for years – complete a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN). However, this is now a one-off rather than an annual process. Vehicles simply remain legally off the road until taxed, sold or scrapped. - See more at: http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-news/insurance-documents-no-longer-needed-to-tax-cars_60297?utm_source=motoring.co.uk&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter&src=motoring#sthash.i1lhGQGw.dpuf

You don’t have to buy a tax disc if you don’t use or keep your vehicle on a public road (eg you keep it in a garage, on a drive or on private land). You must make a SORN instead. Your SORN is valid until your vehicle is taxed, sold or scrapped

Thanks everyone

 

Apparently as shaz112 says, It doesn't have to be done every year now, it's registered as sorn until I tax it or scrap it so I don't have to keep doing it now

 

It was changed in December it would appear :banana:

 

I just have to get the old girl roadworthy now so that I can tax and use her

It's not all good tho.

 

Under new rules you now cannot sell a car with tax, the old owner must cash in the remaining tax and the new owner must apply for new tax themselves.

 

A nice little kick in the crotch that was kept quiet.

[geared 302]

The real reason or the pathetic excuse the government have tried to sell us??
