Driving campaigners have said that the issuing of these fines seems like “needless bureaucracy” and called for the money to be refunded
Car tax increased in line with Retail Price Index inflation of 10.1 per cent from the beginning of April All vehicles, besides those that are kept off road, have to be ‘taxed’ or licenced each year, but some – such as certain electric vehicles and older cars made before 1983 – attract a ‘zero rate, meaning their drivers do not actually owe any money.
But the DVLA said it needed drivers to tax their vehicles to ensure records were accurate. Brian Gregory, policy director at the Alliance of British Drivers said: “This sounds like another way of parting hard working people with their money. The only way around taxing a vehicle is to register it as off-road by getting a Statutory Off Road Notification , which means you cannot drive it and must keep it in a garage or other off-road location.online, or do it by phoning the DVLA, and the agency will send reminders via post in the lead-up to your tax being due. Drivers can also sign up to online reminders too.
