Car Tax
All
Hope someone can help me, I brought a new car on Sunday but it had no car tax, I have my car insurance and MOT and went to get my tax today but they will not give it to me until my insurance comes through, therefore my car has sat outside in car park by my flat, until my insurance arrives and will then get the tax.
I am so worried I may get a fine of �1000, I spoke to DVLA to see if anyway around it and they said "No" very helpful, I can not believe I could be penalised for buying a car and wanting to buy tax but I cant because the insurance note has not come through.
I have phoned my insurance and paid extra to get the paperwork sent through urgently and I prey it comes through tomorrow so I can sort it, does anyone have any advice or if I am likely to get a fine? paperwork was signed on log book as handover of car on 30/09, and on the V10 form ive listed this and the insurance ot start on 01/09?
Any help
Thanks,
Steve
Ps) Something else ive noticed on the DVLA website on vehicle enquiry, if you put in my car reg it says "Unlicenced" which has now made me concerned that the garage did not declare it as Sorn, could I be penalised for this if this i the case, even though log book only shows me taking the car from 30.09? I hope someone can help
thanks

You see when you buy the tax you will buy it from the beginning of the month. Even the police and bureaucrats know what paperwork lag is like. Happy driving.
ps. Don't go on the road till you've got your tax disc!!
