how do you go about Re Taxing a car that's been tax Exempted?
Looking at buying a car that's been tax exempted with the current owner (blue badge owner me thinks), so I would have to buy Tax.
Now, how would you tax it.. can you do it on line once I've bought it.
But would they have the code/tax number to allow you to buy the tax.
Do you follow me?? lol

I thought even tax exempt vehicles still had a tax disc issued, all be it with zero written where the cash amount goes?
Then it would just be a case of going to the post office as normal with insurance Mot and V5 just incase?

i just bought a disabled class car and had to get a form from post office, i cant remember what code but they should tell you that and take it to
Nottingham Business Park
Unit D
Orchard Place
Off Woodhouse Way
Nottingham
NG86PX
you pay for the tax and they give you the disc there and then and send you a new log book with the plg instead of disabled on it

Some info here.

The V5 needs to go back to DVLA so they can put the car in the correct tax class.
"A change from disabled to another taxation class can only be carried out at a DVLA Local Office. Once the changes have been made you can tax online, by phone or at the Post Office® branch that issues tax discs next time".

I don't know which DVLA office you'll use, but you can't just turn up at the Trafford Park (Salford) one, you have to pre-book by phone or internet.
I think they do it that way so they can calculate your waiting period to be just enough to really p!ss you off

i bought a car that was taxed exempt
I had to re-tax it at one of the DVLA Office, I could not do it at a PO
just don't go near the first of the month as it will be rammed
I seem to remember the previous owners had to take the tax disc off the car too
and I had to wait for the V5 to be sent back in my name, so I had to drive around without tax for a few weeks

No one is going to ask how the car got to Nottingham, nor will they care if youve taken a few days to get the necessary insurance documents together. Anyway, if they did you can dismiss the enquiry easily, as the vendor delivered.

You need the seller to get the tax class changed before you pick it up only the legal owner can do this as your not a blue badge holder you can't be the legal owner
Also check if the car is supplied under mobility scheme normal takes a day to sort owner will need to go to a Dvla office

Ps found out the hard way

Previous owner was disbled and neither the old owner or dealer bothered to change the tax class...he only found out after when trying to tax it at the post office after getting it home (we drove it home on our company trade plates) had to go to the DVLA office to sort it out.
Technically speaking its the seller's responsibility to change the tax class BEFORE selling the car. So I'd give the seller some leathering over this inconvenience.

I'll speak to her and tell her to look into it, either way she needs to have it altered when she gets her new car as the tax will be swapped from one car to another. So she'll be sorting that out anyway.
So the V5 needs altering.. to a new one?

Yes, as it shows the taxation class.
Not sure if the DVLA can change the name /address of the keeper at the same time - would speed things along if they did.
The system is a pile of poop at teh moment...you can get it reclassed as disabled at the post office, but it appears that it cannot be reversed back to PLG and that has to be done by the DVLA (unless things have changed recently - worth a phone call to ask, I guess.)

I had to go to the dvla office to get tax a car that I had bought which was registered disabled and it was a right pain in the ****. I had to take a ticket and wait about an hour in line before I was seen by a clerk, and then because I had left my insurance document in the car I had to go get it and queue up again.

DVLA offices are hit and miss in terms of waiting times. You have to pick your times.
For example; This/next week would be a bad time to go as many people are off work for easter. Same on weekends and also during the weeks when a new reg number is released.
(btw they'll be shut today and monday)

If the cars currently taxed then the chances of an ANPR stop are nil, Id have thought. Check the insurance database to ensure that either your new or their old insurance is still showing and youre away.
