recently sorned by car because of the new silly insurance and tax rule (if cars taxed has to be insured)
im ready to reinsure the car and buy the insurance and tax, but i need the tax before monday, now can i use the same tax letter that i use to sorn the car or do i have to go down the post office to get the tax disc? would insurance email/fax/next day cover note so i can get the tax? i need the car taxed and insured by monday btw

Insurance needs to be in place, then tax it online.
The reference number from the original tax reminder won't work, you need the V5 reference number.
Edit - ignore all that - just come to do mine and it won't let me.
SORNed it because I couldn't tax in time because I couldn't MOT in time and now the stupid system won't allow me to re-tax online.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid thing.

If the vehicle is sorn'd and you want to tax it, just make sure its insured and has valid MOT.
If you want to tax it at the post office you will need your insurance certificate, MOT certificate and your V5 logbook, I recently had to do this on my car which I sorn'd while I carried out MOT work as the MOT and Tax had just run out

Cant you just get the insurance company to fax a tempory cover note so you can get tax? That's what i have always done if i have bought a car with no tax.
