Think I forgot my road tax, how do I check?

Pay it online. Today.
You have 14 days from the date it runs out to renew it (actually, not sure if this is still the case), but you shouldn't drive till it's sorted.
There was a 14 day grace period for the display of a tax disc, but only provided it had been applied for before the expiry date. AFAIK this was to allow for any postal or processing delays. Now obsolete.

Tax it using the number on the V5C document right before you send it off to change the address to your new one.0 -

I did this a few years ago, you cant tax it after a gap without having a SORN number - copy one from some fool who posts it on the web on a car site somewhere and tax it double quick. I got away with it, if not the fine is horrendous. You can't just pay the back tax to the start of the month.Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0

Don't worry, no need to pay "road tax", as it was abolished in 1936 and doesn't exist.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

is that the green form thingee that comes with your licence? Ok will change that. And what's the link to pay the tax online? Also, can't I just go to post office and pay it with my licence or maybe go to old address and find the letter if it's still there?0 -

Only for Englandshire and perhaps Waleshire - Scotlandshire and N Irelandshire are not to get any.
How the (dis)United Kingdom is going to implement this great idea hasn't been fully explained yet.
I think it's just more false promises.0 -
