Car tax checks explained
Our road tax checker tool will tell you if a vehicle has up-to-date tax or if it’s registered as off the road (SORN). If the vehicle has valid tax, our checker will tell you when it expires 1.
In the UK, you must pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), known as car tax or road tax, on all vehicles driven or kept on a public road. It’s illegal to drive a vehicle that doesn’t have valid road tax unless it's exempt.
For more information see the FAQs below or our car tax guide.
