Taxation class
Turbo Mini Forums

Just bought a car needing tax and on the V5 the taxation class says disabled. The previous owners must've had an exemption certificate as the last tax disc has NIL written on it.

Checked the DVLA site and it's not clear (or I've not found the relevant bit) if we need to change the taxation class on the V5 before taxing the car again.

I know a class change has to be done at a VRO, but I was wondering if we just write PLG on the form (V10?) and take it to the post office.

Any ideas?

Cheers

plg or historic if its pre 72

I have discussed this with someone at work who has had the exact same thing.
He bought a car which had been on Motability and as such was in a disabled classification.
He had to go to a Tax Office in order to get the vehicle re-classified as PLG.
It can't be done at a Post Office.
Not sure where the nearest Tax Office to us would be, Sheffield I think.
Pain in the ar$e job really.
Sorry about that.
