It’s always the way, isn’t it? Just at the time that your car tax needs to be renewed, you realise that you will be abroad on holiday or on business.
However, don’t panic. There are ways that you can tax your vehicle if you’re going to be overseas when your tax expires. Our guide looks at your various options.

If you are making a postal application you should also include a letter explaining why you are taxing in advance.
You can have your tax disc sent to an overseas address. To do this you should supply the foreign address in a covering letter and include this with your tax disc application. Your Great Britain address must be written on the V10 ‘Application for a tax disc’ form.
