Car tax: get a tax disc for your vehicle

    Buy or renew your tax disc (vehicle licence) online – get tax for your car, motorbike, lorry, bus or other vehicle that needs a tax disc.

    You can pay for your tax disc online if all of the following apply:

    • you’re the vehicle’s registered keeper
    • DVLA already has your correct name, address and vehicle details
    • you have your reminder letter (V11 or V85/1) or registration certificate (V5C)
    • your vehicle is insured
    • your vehicle has an MOT if it needs one

    You may also need a Goods Vehicle or PSV test certificate to tax a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) or passenger service vehicle (PSV).

    You should get your new tax disc in the post within 5 working days. Contact the DVLA if it doesn’t arrive.

    You have 14 days before you need to display the new disc if you applied before your old disc expired.

    Disability exemption

    You may be exempt or pay a reduced amount of vehicle tax if you receive certain benefits because of your disability. Find out if you’re eligible and how to apply.
