Davyo Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Picked up my new Jimny this morning,salesman puts the details on the Gov Road Tax website,good to go. Been driving around all day and when I got home decided to check on the Gov site if car is taxed as no confirmation email in my inbox.Big red NO! so in a panic I tried phoning them ( no one answers,just a stupid telephony system).So I tried to tax it again,message 'there is already a successful transaction for this vehicle'. Apparently it can take up to days to get updated,so what happens when I drive passed the police? They say tax your car instantly online lol.

Davyo Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Do it over the phone it's instant But wasnt that the reason millions was spent going digital, 24/7 and all that?Just find it odd that you can pay on a Sunday but can't cancel on a Sunday.

ferguson_tom Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Stupid question have you checked your spam box? A lot of email services spam or unsure new email address especially with attachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I had similar issues with my self assessment - can't seem to do it out of office hours. Dunno if that is some Gov anti hacking protection or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
