Does Polish people living in England need to tax their cars?
Answers:
According to the DVLA website "There are International agreements which provide for the temporary use of a vehicle in a foreign country for a limited time, usually 6 months in a 12 month period. A visitor to the UK may use a vehicle displaying foreign plates, provided that all taxes (including vehicle excise duty) are paid in their country of origin."
Once the "limited time" is up, the vehicle must be registered and taxed in the UK.
Report the vehicle to the DVLA. See http://www.dvla.gov.uk/public/unlic_veh/.
Report him.
yes..
I think there is a 3 month grace period - as if you were touring or so. He is supposed to re-register his vehicle within this period too. At this point he will get caught sooner or later and is probably better off changing cars altogethor.
2 polish people who work where i do , aint taxed there's eitha & 1 doesn`t even have a driving licence for here but drives all ova!!
If he's not had his car taxed for over a year, chances are it's not registered in this country, or he would have been automatically fined. If it's not registered or taxed, chances of it being MOTd or insured are slim. Scum of the roads these people.it's people like that who push up the road tax, insurance and fuel prices in the first place.
No, Briton will do it for him. but he should pay said tax.
I think no
Yep he has to mot and insure it as wel i bet he hasn't done that either
I believe they have 12 months grace in which to tax their cars, but a lot of them are very clever, if they go back over to Poland during that time they get another extension on having to tax their cars, thankfully the government are now making it stop and the DVLA are also clamping and crushing their cars if they have no tax, I have nothing against the Polish, what I do have a problem with is the fact they can get away with doing what they are car tax wise until the government puts the plan in place and the DVLA has sorted their side of it out, would we get away with it, NO.
European law states that a vehicle from another country within a member state must be re-registered within 6 months, or sooner if the person declares the country they are currently in is to became their legal home, otherwise they must take it out of the country. The Brits are too soft on this issue, here in Spain, if we register to live here, we only get 30 days in which to register the vehicle onto Spanish plates, otherwise it's towed away and impounded until its done at an horrendous daily rate! The most important issue is one of insurance, most policies worldwide only give cover outside of the counrty in which the vehicle is registered for 90 days, so effectivley the six month rule is useless
As a visitor to the UK you have 12 months before you need to register, and pay for the tax. if you live in the UK as a permanent address you must register the car straight away. If I were you I would report them to DVLA
He should but i know plenty of english people who don't tax their car either.I would never report them as i am not a grass,besides the amount of money the goverment rips motorists of for every year i say good luck to them, just look at fuel duty insurance premiums are ridiculus in this country.The trouble with british people is we've lost the will to fight the goverment so they now do as they wish
Report him as no tax could mean not registered, no insurance and possible not even a driving licence
