I'd think hardly anybody wants tax on the 1st day of the month. In terms of renewals anybody needing tax for April would have got it in the last half of March. Anybody needing tax for May will get it in the last half of April. Only a few people will now be applying online for this month. People needing tax ASAP will be down the post office. Otherwise they'll not have a tax disk for a few days.

Plus they need to change the prices today and may be fixing a glitch created by doing that.

So in general of all the days for it to be down today is not a surprise.

Use the Post Office and help keep the facility available as the government are trying to take that option away. It costs them money if you tax it like we used to do

There is 5 day exemption from displaying a tax disc at the start of a month. This grace period applies if the new tax was purchased online prior to expiry of the old tax. I'm not sure whether the same applies to vehicles which have been SORNd.

If not, and you did end up purchasing online, then this means that you would have to wait until the new tax disc arrived before being able to [lawfully] drive the Griff.

I'd say ask the DVLA for clarification, but they seem to be clueless..
