Forgot to update my V5 when I moved house & only just noticed my tax expired a month ago!
I can renew the tax disk at the Post Office and change my address at the same time, tomorrow morning, I'm assuming that some sort of fine etc will have been sent to my old house etc?
What can I expect?

It expired 30th September actually... I read on the highly reliable MSE site that you can renew in the following month without a fine being generated but that looks a bit suspect to me!

I can't tax it online as haven't receive letter as v5 wrong but DVDs website says I can change address and buy tax at same time. Was just wondering if I'd have to pay a surcharge or fine, or if one may have been sent out to my old address

All sorted I misread the site, it lists things you can do it with like V5 doc number and reg, or renewal letter code, but I thought it said I needed all three. A bit bumming that the direct debit option doesnt't start till November though
