If you use or keep a vehicle on a public road, you must display a valid tax disc on it. As the registered keeper of the vehicle you’re responsible for taxing it or making a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) if it’s to be kept off the road.
Tax your vehicle
To tax your vehicle you’ll need:
- a completed V11 reminder or V10 ‘Vehicle licence application’
- your Registration Certificate or New Keeper supplement, if using a V10
- a completed V62 ‘Application for a Vehicle Registration Certificate V5C’, if you don’t have a Registration Certificate
- an MOT test certificate (if your car or motorcycle is over three years old)
- insurance that covers you against third party claims for death or injury and damage to property caused by using the vehicle
- the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)
A Northern Ireland registered vehicle cannot be taxed in England, Scotland or Wales.
Display your tax disc
Display a tax disc on the passenger side (kerb side) of the vehicle’s windscreen. If there’s no windscreen or you have a motorcycle or sidecar, display the tax disc on the kerb side of the vehicle.
The tax disc cannot be transferred between vehicles.
