Can a car be taxed on a V62 without the V5?

[Urban Sports]

Quick question, I'm looking at a car without the V5 it only has a V62, can it be taxed on that, somebody said only trade can tax them on a V62 which is OK as my Dad is trade.

I can't really find a definitive answer on tinterweb.

Thanks

Taxing without a Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement

If you’re shown as the registered keeper of the vehicle on DVLA records, you can tax in person or by post at your nearest DVLA local office.

You’ll need to complete a V62 ‘Application for a Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) which must be accompanied by £25 (fee for a duplicate Registration Certificate). Include this with a completed V10 ‘Vehicle licence application’, MOT, insurance and payment for vehicle tax.

If your address has changed, you’ll need to provide your driving licence, original bank or building society statement or recent utility bill. If your name has changed, you need to provide your marriage certificate, decree nisi, decree absolute or deed poll.

If you’re not shown as the registered keeper on DVLA records you cannot tax the vehicle. You’ll need to apply for a Registration Certificate in your name. To get one, fill in form V62 ‘Application for a Vehicle Registration Certificate’ and post to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1DD. You may have to wait up to four weeks for a new certificate to arrive. In the meantime, you should keep your vehicle off the road.

Doesn't show the whole picture, I finally got in touch with somebody at the DVLA call centre, it would seem that some can and some can't I had to give them the registration number for them to check, unfortunately the one I am looking at can't so I'd have to wait up to 6 weeks for a new V5.

I had the same problem a few months ago, i phoned the DVLA and they said i could tax it at my local DVLA office.
But by off chance i thought i would try the local post office in the village only half a mile away as opposed to the local DVLA office which is 20 odd mile away. To my total amasement the old women in the post office said i should n't really tax it for you but i will. RESULT.
Bless her, so give it a go.
