Just a word of precaution really, if you tax a car online make sure you go to the official Govt. website to do it. Normally i go online to RENEW my tax so am aware of the steps, but this time it was a to obtain one for the first time, as such the pages looked familiar, but not.. Seemed to ask the right questions, Even the yes/no ones. I even hit purchase, However something had been bugging me and just before i filled out the 3 letters of my bank accounts code, i noticed in small letters the cost for 6 months, £166. now i thought it was £130 tops, so i searched and searched thinking the budget had put it up, but kept coming up with £126.50. A quick check showed that it was NOT the official government website. Further checks on the official one gave caution.

 

So, just watch out, they are not scams as such, just agree to "check and send" your application.

So many scams out there :sneaky2: thanks for the heads up mate.

Indeed - never use Google searches to "suggest" such important web pages; as they are well used/abused by scammers. Instead just make sure you always type in the proper web address - or click the link from DVLA's home page!

Thanks for the heads up. I got caught out last year on the passport website scam :blushing:
