Tax renewal - Vehicle in garage

zudecke
zudecke Posts: 582 Forumite
Hi guys,

My tax disc renewal is due, but my car is actually (and has been for the last 1 month) in a garage getting repaired! I reckon it will be another 1.5 weeks while it's in there.

Is this regarded as a SORN?

Regards,

Z

    You must tell DVLA that vehicle is SORN otherwise they will just issue you with a fine

    Just tax it, you won't gain anything by sorning if you're getting it back this month. Just make sure you remember to display the tax disc.
