Tax Your Vehicle Online
You can also now Tax your vehicle on-line and if getting to a Post Office is difficult this could be the best option for you. How do you do this, what documents do you need and how long does it take? As an added bonus promotions are being run to encourage you to tax your car on-line, and you could be entered into a prize draw to win, for example, a Seat Ibiza Ecomotive.
Here is a brief summary to help you understand what to expect when you tax your car on-line:-
* Go to Taxdisc Direct
* Click that you want to Tax your car online
* Answer the 5 questions asked and click 'next'
* Enter either your reminder reference or Registration Number and Registration Document reference and click 'Next'
* Your MOT and Insurance validity will be electronically checked
* You will be taken to the payment page, enter your payment details
* As long as everything is confirmed as being successful, your tax disc will be issued via post and can take up to 5 working days to be received
So basically all you need is either your Renewal Document or your Registration Document, much easier than going to your local post office and after queueing up being told that actually you have brought the wrong part of your insurance schedule and that they cannot give you your tax disc! However, you must be aware that if your insurance is due to expire a few days before then it you will be able to tax on-line and will have to go to the Post Office in person.

how sneaky.. motorbike tax frozen, is that because most of them will be rated in the zero tax bracket based on Co2 emissions? I'm guessing my 125cc would be tax exempt, am I right anyone?
