...How can I tax ? My son is with the British Army and bought a VR6 car which has a year's MOT. Because he is based in Germany with the army it's cheaper to insure through the army contacts (about £1,500 cheaper !!) and he has full insurance. However, we are finding it impossible to tax the car for when he comes home in August, because the insurance is in Germany and not the UK. I know the answer is to register the car in Germany (which we will do) but we don't have time before he comes home. We only want to buy a legitimate tax disc so that he does not get stopped every five mins by the police. If we had known, the dealer we bought it from said he would have taxed the car for us, but he is now away for the next month !
Help - any ideas. We don't want to do anything "dodgy" just legally tax the car for my son !!
