Amaranthus   10 #3 Posted January 14, 2014 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  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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffieldliz   10 #4 Posted January 14, 2014 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  From government website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
biggsy   10 #5 Posted January 16, 2014 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   Cheers, Biggsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared   306 #6 Posted January 16, 2014 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.
