I renewed mine at the end of last month and it hasnt been extended. if you're not using your car you can park it off road and sorn it. I havnt driven the car that I've just renewed the road tax on for 6 weeks, but it is parked on the road. I have been driving my other car though.
.....I guess Im paying road tax for the luxury of keeping the parking space in front of my house.

They still want the money.
They check proof of mot online as usual.
I am pretty sure that if the mot was due after the extension was given then it is now showing up online as a 6month later date.
If it expired before the extension was given it's still expired now and you won't be able to tax without getting a new one (and the new one will be valid for 12mth not 18)
I have a van that I use for events due tax end of this month so I'm going to leave it as it is for now and will sorn last few days of the month if I don't think i will be using it.
Insurance is due same time, not decided what to do about that yet. Fire and theft cover only quote was more expensive than fully comp business use cover!

isnt that why you pay rates/ council tax ??I renewed mine at the end of last month and it hasnt been extended. if you're not using your car you can park it off road and sorn it.

to put it bluntly ,,, if you have any money , just send half of it to the tax man ....right now
and the rest next year.

Either way we will all be paying for it out of our own pockets
Nothing comes for free!
The more people that claim, The more it will cost everyone. It's not really rocket science lets be fair

All well & good if you have somewhere off-road, but if you're like many of us who don't, you're stuffed.
@earthman You don't come into contact with anyone when you paying your road tax
Lol, well I do. I'm old school, I still take my documents/money down to the PO,....I know that I'm fighting a losing battle but I'm trying to help keep them in business.
