V5 help

[lordlee]

I have recently purchased a car but the V5 doesn't have the new keeper supplement. I do however have the whole V5 document apart from that. I need to tax the vehicle today so as its not in my name and I don't have the new keeper supplement what can I do? I have the MOT and insurance forms too.

I'm not really an expert on this sort of thing but I don't think you can until you have the V5 in your name without the new owners slip .. unless you can get the previous owner to tax it somehow

I did think as long as you had the New Owners Supplement and MOT + Insurance you could at a post office, I always took along the receipt of sale as well just in case but I am sure I have done this in the past when I have bought cars on the cusp of expiry.

Edited to add.. see here... http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?catId=...

Also edited to add I noticed now you said you don't have the new keeper bit so I suspect you can't until you get the V5 back.

Fill out the the whole of the V5 and tax as normal, Post Office will deal with it all for you.
