Not if the vehicle isn't already taxed you can't, if the vehicle has no tax and you try taxing it on 26th of the month it will be backdated to the start of the month. Different if its already taxed.

Oh, yes, you can. Two working days... Trust me on this, because I did exactly that (by accident, tbh) last November...

<bit of googling>
Ah, here we go...
Section B of the notes to DVLA form V10...

If your vehicle is not taxed or has a SORN
If you apply in the last two working days of a month, the tax disc can start on the first day of the next month. If you apply before then, your tax disc will be backdated to the start of the current month. (Saturday is classed as a working day at Post Office® branches.)

The sorn'd vehicle is now taxed, starting 1/10.

You do realise that you can't drive it until then, don't you?

Go to the post office with V5, MOT and insurance. Job done.

Care to point to a start date on it?

Go and have a look at one. There are two dates on it. The expiry and the issue.

Its taxed from the first of next month (October) so what's your point?

Still don't understand your point. The period of duty you pay is from the first of each month. So at the moment although the OP has re-taxed his car, he cannot drive it until the tax becomes valid which (as he says) is the first of October.

I'ts as simple as that really.

Indeed, so I don't understand why your yelping on about the car being put on the road before this point. At no point have I suggested this would be the case.
