If you declare SORN (statutory off road nitification) then nothing.
If you use a car with no tax then The fines is up to £1000, plus the outstanding tax.
The alternative is that your car is removed forcibly from the road to the nearest scrap yard and turned into tin cans, you can claim no compensation if this happens.
ANPR(automatic number plate recognition) equipped police cars can tell within a second if your tax is current or not.

If you are talking about sales tax that will continue to go up with penalties and interest until they come after you for the money. Depends on the state as to how long this takes. If you are talking about tag renewal or registration then you can turn in the tags and declare it off road and broken and you can get by without paying it more until the car is repaired and ready to return to the highway. Also depends on the state as to how long you have to do this.

The following:
* You receive a letter saying you haven't taxed or declared SORN for the vechile, which is a £40 fine by a certain date, otherwise it's £80 which must be paid by a certain date - if not can take you to court.
or
* If spotted and towed away you will receive a letter saying to contact the car pound by acertain date or car is crushed
I would SORN it straight away and keep it off the road or tax it asap.

The British Government has decided that if you don't pay your road tax you must declare your car off the road. There is no 'do nothing' option. Why must you declare it off the road? Why isn't this just assumed? I'll tell you, because the government doesn't trust any of us and expects us to be criminals - not that someone could just be out of the country for a few months. They still expect us to trust them though in what they do and constantly complain that we don't.
They are scum.

You end up with a penalty that is delivered to your door if you don't register your car as off the road etc
