D you have a cite for that? It's the thing that always annoyed me about
the online tax thing, still being liable for the 'not displaying' even
though *they know* you are taxed.

(Direct Gov - If you prefer to tax in the last few days of the month,
there is now an exemption from the offence of not displaying a tax disc.
This exemption covers the first five working days of the month and allows
time for the new disc to arrive in the post.)

GIYF...

Righto I bought a car for a friend who has a provisional license. I have
insurance for my car, and to driver other cars with owners permission.

The car tax runs out tommorow, can I tax the car with my insurance
document.

No.



Update for you all, I took my insurance certificate to 4 different posts
offices, 3 of them refused it and on the last one I though feck it might
as well give it a go and the the guy just did not bother read or check,
just looked at the mot and top of the insurance letter which said
"certificate of insurance" and issued me with a tax disc!!

Typically after all that hard work the next morning insurance documents
turn up .. you have to laugh hey!

As I said:

"although the exact interpretation of the law seems to
depend on the mood of the issuing clerk!"

My stepson has a traders' policy; the interpretation of what he is
permitted to tax with it varies day by day. He actually just does what
you did, and keeps going until he finds a place that will issue a disc.

Yep - I accidentally took/showed last year's insurance certificate, and
the clerk didn't notice.
