Drivers across the UK are being warned to brace for major car tax changes that could cost them thousands more, especially if they drive petrol or diesel vehicles. The DVLA has taken to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to remind people not to forget about vehicle tax, posting: “Don’t forget to pay your vehicle tax!”
If you don’t keep your tax up to date, you could face an £80 fine just for being the registered keeper of an untaxed car. And if you’re caught actually driving it without having paid up, or haven’t declared it off-road with a SORN, that fine jumps to £1,000 or five times what the tax should’ve been.
