Jim 2 Posted May 25, 2005 Wasn't sure if you guys knew about this, but just read about it on another car forum. I'll be doing this next time rather than queuing down at the post office with all the pensioners and chavs! http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah noticed this the other day... need to do mine this w/e and with it being a bank hol maybe better to do online. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randal 0 Posted May 25, 2005 I had to read that link twice, as I first saw it as "EvilPortalApp"!! Would have stood to reason, as the taxation system could have only been designed by Lucifer himself. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted May 25, 2005 You need a new style MOT certificate to do this though, and not all test centres issue them yet - they're still rolling this out. My car was MOT'd last week and I got the old style certificate again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 25, 2005 You need a new style MOT certificate to do this though, and not all test centres issue them yet - they're still rolling this out. My car was MOT'd last week and I got the old style certificate again. You mean the ones with VOSA in big blue/green writing in the top corner? My last two have been the new VOSA ones, so I should be OK for online taxing! Why they can't just debit our accounts once a year until told otherwise is beyond me.

tonytiger 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Note sure what the new MOT's look like, but I think they're all printed, with no handwriting. Quote from the VOSA website: After successful completion of trials VOSA began rolling out MOT Computerisation on the 18 April 2005 to all testing stations in Great Britain. All garages will be recording MOT results on the new centralised database and issuing the new receipt style MOT test certificates by October 2005. Along with this new MOT certificate motorists will be given an information leaflet ' Your new MOT certificate and buying road tax online' which explains these changes and the benefits of the new system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerrinmay 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Scary...I've just checked the details for all the cars that I've ever owned on that site, and only the C and my previous car that my partner now owns are still licensed and on the road! My previous three cars haven't been licenced for a number of years. Quite sad really - my poor old VW Beetle hasn't been licensed for 6 years! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted May 25, 2005 8) very handy just declared the mr poo (mr2) sorn for another year and i just realised the mot on the rado runs out this month will have to get it booked in on the weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Ooookay... the Corrado I wrote off and scrapped in 2000 is due for tax in August and last changed owner 05/2004... :| Oh, and my Automatic Golf MKI hasn't been taxed since 1999 and hasn't been declaired SORN... :roll: someone's been a little naughty... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pughey 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Just realised why I havent had the registration document sent through for my new C - Previous owner has not sent it off yet! Will he not get an £80 fine if he does not send it off? (remember an add on tv about it?) Im a bit worried about him cos he has a set of keys + alarm fob for it (which he keeps "forgetting" to post), he also knows where I live! Good to see that there will be no way of getting a tax disc without insurance and MOT etc once it is all electronic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrabarton 0 Posted June 2, 2005 yeah me too, however i beleive that not only will previous owner get a fine .... unlikely it will ever get issued, but we will also have to pay fro the pleasure of getting a suitable replacement V5. now how fair is that?

pughey 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Do you have to pay for a V5 request now???? :!: Thats not on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimjam 0 Posted June 2, 2005 My V5 hasn't come through either yet - nearly a year now - but I know the car is registered to me cos I received a reminder for an unpaid parking ticket (that never actually appeared on my car in the first place :? ). Contrast this to my last car that the DVLA sent me two V5's for. I really ought to ring them and get a replacement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhide 0 Posted June 2, 2005 I've just tried to buy tax for my bike. Got all the way to the end and it's rejected both my VISA debit card and VISA credit card. Looks like they don't support that standard :mad: Bit of an oversight really :roll: I don't have anything else! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
