Did you know it’s UK law that all vehicles must be taxed or declared off-road?
If you’ve got one or more of the 39 million vehicles registered in the UK, it’s quicker and easier than ever to keep on top of your responsibility to stay legal. Don’t get caught out by not taxing your vehicle.
If you’re not sure when your tax is due, you can check with us at any time using our Check if a vehicle is taxed service. You’ll still get a paper Vehicle Tax Reminder (V11) in the post, reminding you when your tax is due - nothing’s changed there.
Can’t manage the cost all at once? You can pay by Direct Debit.
It’s never been easier to tax your vehicle online or by ‘phone, on 0300 123 4321. Both these options are 24/7.
Or, if you prefer, you can tax at a Post Office that deals with vehicle tax.
So many different ways to tax your vehicle and stay within the law – there’s really no excuse not to.

How about a "declared off-road" vehicle. Is that easy to tax online?

Hi,
Yes, you can tax it online at http://www.gov.uk/vehicletax using the latest V5C reference number.

Hi Andy,
You can change tax class at a Post Office. Please see http://www.gov.uk/change-vehicle-tax-class/tax-due-to-run-out-or-changing-if-vehicle-is-exempt for further information.
