.. is this only available in Engurland or can the plebes in the 6 counties avail of this service?
You can retax some vehicles by telephone in the occupied six.
See the link below for a ridiculous, confusing, jargon filled, non-user friendly, heavily disguised description of you can and cannot do.

Anyone else been unable to tax their cars online?
Heard some spiel about problems only with cars that were first registered in England and brought back here and we're between 3 and 4 years old.
Tried to tax 2 cars which don't fall into the category mentioned above, but its telling me I can't do it online or via the phone service and that I need to go to the post office to get it done
Back to the dark ages it would seem
Me - tried two days ago.
Went to the Post Office today.
I didn't seem to have a new style V11 reminder form that has a number on it, nor did it recognise my car from it's log book number.
Waste of flippin time.
Same Rois

Only certain post offices will do the renewal with the V11 form, some will do both and some with only do the v10 form.
I had the same problem. Post office couldn't even do it. They had to send me out a new tax book first. Be sure to look into it before your current disc expires.
Causing some bother. I bring cars in from England to sell on and it is proving a pain in the a$$. I shudder to think what cherished transfers are going to be like..

Ah well I got it done at Post Office - online was just a no-no.
Post Office on Howard St in Belfast worked grand (despite long queue).
Maanged to do mine online a couple of weeks ago. Reminder that the DVLNI send out is useless as it does not have the correct refrence but if you have your log book you should be fine.

I wasn't fine - had log book, car was 100% first registered and kept in NI. Just didn't recognise it.
It is an absolutre pain in the hole doing it online, just have to keep trying.
Just did it. Took less than 5 minutes. Used 11 digit number from tax book.

Trying to tax my car this morning online and the feckin thing keeps crashing out.
I know its the first day of the month, but FFS it shouldn't take over 5 minutes just to find my vehicle from the 16 digit number!!
Finally, finally got it operating,
you don't even get a cert of any sort now, so I presume all Cops, traffic wardens etc, have access to online databases to check road tax...
Another way of screwing money from people.
If I sold a car 15th of November, I can only claim a refund on my tax from 1 December. OK so that's always been the case. But the other person has to tax this car before he drives it off. But he has to pay from the 1st November. So there's two taxes been paid for that month on that car.
My question is, if there's no need for tax disks now, why can't you just pay from the day you buy the car? Eg, if I bought a car 5 April, I can tax for a year, which runs out 4th April following year. The same way car insurance works.
Money grabbing hoors.

Why does the other person have to tax the car before they drive off? Surely you've already taxed it for that month? Doesn't make sense and they're being greedy hoors alright.
With the new system they really aren't tied to the monthly thing, not that they ever were so you'd think spreading out the dates people tax would help out.
I also noted that on my car it is £20 cheaper to tax for the year than for two periods of 6 months, never remember it being as much as that.
