Hi all,

Just read this from Chris: If your car is classified as historic it should show “tax not due” under the vehicle status heading.

I checked the DVLA site and found that my Light 15 had tax due 1/6/2018. So I contacted DVLA.

Here is the reply:

Dear Mr Bjorvik,
Thank you for your enquiry received on 23/4/2018.
Your case reference number is 00576134.
We appreciate you contacting us to seek clarification on the matter.

It may help if I explain that I have checked the record and I can see that the vehicle is in the Historic Tax Class, this means that there is no cost for the vehicle tax due to the age of the vehicle. 

However, the tax is due for renewal on 01-06-2018, this is because even if a vehicle is exempt from paying the tax, it will still need to be taxed so we know that the vehicle is being used on the road.

A reminder will be sent in May to assist you with taxing the vehicle.

I trust that you find this information helpful.

So Historic Vehicle must be taxed but the price is £0 ZERO. Hope this can explain and sort out the confusion re tax on Historic Vehicle
