Tax / V5 issues

[Ricky]

Hi,

You may have seen my last thread about taxing and insuring my new car but this is a slightly different situation now lol.

I have taxed my car at the PO. The dealership got me to fill in section 6 of the V5 and sign section 8 which I did. Section 9 was torn off.

Took the V5 to the PO and gave them section 1-8 excluding 9 and then they gave me section 10 & 11.

I also didn’t fill in the bit on the transfer of sale /keeper date in section 6 as the PO told me not to. Will this cause problems?

PO told me I need to go home and register the car to me. - does taxing it not register it automatically?

Did you not ask the dealer any of this ?

the dealer will inform the DVLA of change of ownership, that's why you filled in those parts.

Taxing is taxing, nothing more.

Just do it online. It’s a 2 min job & the car is taxed already.

Google ‘sell a car from the trade’ and put the details in for the Dealer and yourself. Easy!

If you give the post office section 1-8 they will post it internally to DVA to change ownership. Nothing to worry about - give it a week or two and call them to follow it up.

So I don’t need to register myself as the new keeper? It’s already done?

Hopefully the fact that the box asking for the date that the registered keeper changed being left blank causes no issues

If you havent filled in Section 6, you will need to notify DVLA

Yes DVLA will receive the V5 from the Post Office and use the date that you taxed the vehicle as the new keeper.

Honestly it pisses me off so much as to why the DVLA can’t extend their online services over to here as well. So unfair

They do to an extent, although not all facilities are available

Does anybody know when the DVLA website will show my car as taxed? It’s currently showing as untaxed

Did you not get a receipt in the post office? That will prove that it is taxed?

Yeah have receipt that shows that it’s taxed until 1 July 2020

Just keep that in the car then.

Theres an odd quirk with the changing owner function on the DVLA system in NI. I went to do it recently with the Mrs' new car. I had the full v5, but went to the section headed something like 'I've just bought a new car.' It wouldn't allow me to record my details.

I rang the DVLA, and the lady advised me to go to the 'I've sold my car's section, as though I was the previous owner, and it worked. I think I needed to input the v5 reference number though.

If it's all been sent off by the dealer and the PO, it sounds like it'll be grand.

Hope you get it sorted.
