I bought a car 10 days ago (from cargiant) and wasn't informed that it was sold without tax. The car is 7 months old and I stupidly assumed that would have tax therefore never checked and only noticed today that it doesn't have a tax disc. Do you get so many days grace to get a tax disc and if I get stopped by the poilce what penalties am I looking at?

You can do it now, go onto DVLC.com there you will find a site to tax your car, you can then ask for confirmation that you ahve paid , print this put it by where you show your tax this will inform the police that you have applied , it will be with you by wednesday.

The dealer should have told you there was no tax.They are at fault as they should either agree with you as part of the price to tax the car or they should have told you to tax the car. They were negligent so it's worth atry at going back and asking for a road tax. If not, get one as soon as possible.The dealer should have given you the green slip part of the log book so that you can get the tax from the PO ,with out this you will struggle to prove you own the car because the rest of the log book will be at Swansea. Good luck

There is NO grace period! You should have checked for the tax disc prior to driving it off of the lot! You can't even legally park it on public roads without tax.
The worst that can happen is that they will confiscate the car and send it to the crusher! Get it taxed IMMEDIATELY!

There are no days of grace, in fact there never were but they didn't bother for 2 weeks. Now they do. Tax it NOW, if it's found on the road (including being parked) in some areas they will seize it. The official view will be it's your car, you are responsible for seeing it's taxed.

tax it immediately...these days..if you dont pay the tax - they can take & crush your car...i'm sure if you get pulled up by police...they will see that you have just bought it...and might give you a little 'grace' to tax it...depending on the mood of the police officer at the time. dont delay though!

my last car came untaxed and the sodding post office shut early so had to drive 90mins home without tax, then when i went to tax it i didnt have all the stuff i needed....then the swine broke down.....i finally got it taxed about 7 days later.

no fault of dealers unless he said it would be taxed as part of deal, which would be stated on your invoice,
its your car, your driving it its down to you to tax it,
you must be a woman or o.a.p
your going straight to hell

Get it done ASAP, cause if seen on the street it can be towed away and crushed.
