The car tax is one of those documents that we absolutely cannot do without. In fact, together with other documents relating to the vehicle we are driving, it must always be present on board the car in order to certify possession of the vehicle in the event of checks. However, many of us do not know this detail relating to the stamp duty which could result in a very high fine…
When we travel with our car we must keep in mind that our vehicle must absolutely comply with certain requirements, established by law, in order to be considered regular. In fact, the Highway Code clarifies which documents must always be present on board the vehicle when they are on a public road.
In fact, in the event of checks by law enforcement officers, it will be necessary to show them in order to verify the regularity of the vehicle we are driving. In case of lack of one of these or irregularities of various kinds we could risk sanctions.
Specifically, we must make sure that we have on board the vehicle registration certificate, also known as the vehicle registration document, valid insurance, the inspection carried out according to the established deadlines, the clearly valid driving license and finally the car tax. Precisely for the latter you must make sure of this detail.
Car tax expired, check this detail
The car tax, as we know, unequivocally certifies who is the owner of the vehicle. In fact, through its payment the registration of the vehicle in the Public Automobile Register is renewed, which we remind you is absolutely mandatory.
As we know, your payment is annual and must be paid according to the established deadlines if you do not want to avoid penalties and blackberries. Some categories of vehicles are completely exempt from its payment, but for those who are compulsory, it can also be charged to a current account, thus saving 20%.
Very often, especially when you are busy with various matters, you can forget to pay the stamp duty on time. Such an oversight could expose us to the risk of blackberries which become heavier and heavier over time.
It is therefore always advisable to check the expiry date of your car tax, in order to move in time and pay this tax. In the event of delays, however, do not panic because the payment can still be paid with a fairly limited delay.
