Its usually a month before. Will double check for you though mate.

I have my tax reminder in front of me. It says after the 5th day of the month before the new tax is due to start.

So for Feb would be 5th of Jan.

Moved to Insurance section Dave - probably the closest match?!

We could do with adding Tax to that section, I think. I'll PM admin.

From Directgov

If your vehicle has been untaxed, because you’ve just bought it, the tax disc has run out or a SORN is in force, you can tax from the first day of the month in which you apply.
If you want the tax disc to start on the first day of the next calendar month, you cannot tax your vehicle more than two days in advance.

So thats the 29/30th of Jan then? Or am i reading that wrong??

What i posted was what it says on my tax reminder :S and i cant imagine they'd give you two days in which to tax your car.

Seems conflicting.

30th/31st i think, so just 30th as 31st is a Sunday

Different as you already have tax, they dont want people with out tax getting it too far in advance as there is more risk of people driving it early and displaying the not yet valid disc.

What if you're working for those two days and cant go in to get the disc?

What if you apply online?

Then just buy it in the month it starts from, for example buy 2nd Feb, you just lose a days tax.
