Whilst some of the call-centre type staff may be working from home, the manual processing of paper-work is done at Swansea where they have reduced staff present.
As you no longer have to display a tax disk, if they have taken your payment through the bank or whatever, they would have a hard time trying to state you haven't bought your vehicle tax.
Apart from that, common sense should prevail but obviously some idiots will try and take advantage and spoil it for others.
They have automatically extended driving licence applications but not vehicle tax.

These days when you buy a car you have to tax the car immediately before you drive it away, it is normal that DVLA doesn't get the V5 until later.

These days only the owner can tax a vehicle, the instant a car is sold any tax is no longer valid which is why it had to be delivered on trade plates.
Its a real pain when you travel to buy a car especially privately, you don't know if you are going to buy the car until you see it, then you have to tax and insure it on the spot to drive it home.

They even wanted original insurance document (not a copy) & Ive had no documents returned.Thankfully I sent them recorded delivery That doesn't make sense. My insurance is sent via email every year and I print off the documents. If someone needs the original I have to print it off which makes it a copy. These days the pdf the insurance send you has a watermark which is normally accepted as being an "original document". But strangely some companies that send you actual paper copies don't have a watermark so they could easily be faked!

Gibbo was your vehicle taxed or did you have to keep it off the road for 7 weeks or did you have to sorn it. Thanks for responding. Nope, new owner so there was no tax to speak of, so I had to keep it on my drive. It was a real bugger because the previous owner had lost the green slip so I couldn't even tax it.
