BEVs to now pay road tax, and it's back-datable

[Fintray]

Just done mine, thanks for the reminder Nowty.

I did it my SORNing my car on 28 February and then re-taxing it on 1 March. Probably unnecessary, but just to be safe.

Found I had to re-tax it at the Post Office as cannot do it for 5 working days after a SORN.

We discussed this earlier in the thread, all you need to re-tax an already taxed vehicle is your reg and your reference number from your V5 document.

I know. But the OCD side of me wants to be sure. Not difficult to do and, hopefully, prevents any post date challenge.

Still works, thanks for the tip. I would have thought a printout of the confirmation email is sufficient protection.

Need to use the number off your V5, the renewal notice (V11Z) number stops working after 30 days .

You get a chance to back out if it does not come up with a £0 renewal fee so there is no financial risk.
