You can check if a car is texed etc but apparently the dealer unable to register/tax online

Why on earth tax a car so close to the end of the month?

Hi Robster, for me the tax and registering section is working fine too. Maybe dealer needs to clear his cookies / browser data and try again?

There is the option for the dealer to pay the extra couple of days tax so that you don't lose a full month. I had this in the past on a new car registered on the 30th of the month.
