Tax

[sebandbay]

i have purchased my car tax online but have not yet received my disk. Can I drive on the roads, and if not what is the maximum penalty?

[NORMANTHEDOG]

when is it due to start,it usually takes 3 to 5 days to arrive,if it covers from the 1st oct,then you should be ok,but you may get stopped

[kempie]

Any �mechanically propelled� vehicle when used or kept on a public road must display a valid tax disc. Although there are exemptions to this general rule, none of them apply to your situation.

The penalty for "failure to display" is �60 and is not endorseable.

[Andyvon]

If you can prove that your tax was purchased (such as a receipt) then you cannot be prosecuted for no tax as you have paid. However, there is a separate offence of 'not displaying a valid disc' and you will incur that penalty.
