I have a sierra donor to strip, which I was planning on doing this week. Now the weather has played its part I will not be able to strip it until approx 10th Jan.

The tax is due end of Dec. and its parked on the road. I'm going to SORN it come Dec. so is there anyway I can leave it parked on the road outside my house without taxing it, without getting a fine?

I can't strip it any earlier as I work away form home.

Cheers,
Neil

I don't think so. If it is on the road it has to be taxed and tested and insured.

on the road = needs tax.. simples, no way around it

Although i'm sure you can get away with a couple of days "grace"

The guys are of course 100% correct - although if there was a cover on the car would anyone lift it to check for a tax disc??? I may have used that blag in the past

you can't leave it on the road untaxed. but if you did re-tax it, when its stripped you can get a refund of the tax back from the ppost office i think? or you used to be able to. think its only in full months, so if you get 6 months tax and strip it 10 days later, you get 5 months back

Can't leave it on the road uninsured either.

Well it looks like it will have to go on the drive come Dec 31st and my other car onto the road.

Thanks for the advice guys!!

Neil
