$$$$$$$$$$$$ing tax disks

[Arun V]

I did mine online only yesterday

It was a straight forward process. I did mine in about 5 minutes. You need your SORN number thats on your reminder letter. The tax disc arrives in 5 days.

I dont know what went wrong but here we have a goverment run IT system that works and is intuitive to use. I'm sure EDS had nothing to do with this system.

Can't you get the insurance to send you a cover note?

Yeah they did it - said up to 5 days, but as I said I actually found bloody certificate, going to buy disk now.

Just put on a trillby hat and stick a note in the tax disc holder
"TAX IN POST"

I wonder - would it be illegal to drive to post office to buy tax disk today? Should I walk?

If your car is more than three years old then you will need to produce an MOT certificate.

Nice MOT man said, this is all now online. If you buy your tax online, they will know that you have an MOT because it is busy recording it all now.

Unfortunately I left it until a couple of days beforehand, which was too late to test out this theory and buy online, as they seem to demand a week or two 'notice' for them to send the tax disk via donkey-delivery or something as equally strange. I mean computerisation FFS. If I were stopped 3 days after it expired by the Feds, their computer should say, "oh yes - he bought his tax online 5 days ago at 3:21 pm precisely, and is still waiting for that dammed donkey delivery service". But that is not the kind of world we live in.

That's why I bought the disk int he post office - doubt they even offer discount for buying online.
