tax

Like death it's inevitable, is it?
This is about road tax. The money the government take off you for using the roads and then, seemingly throw it into the potholes. Well they don't repair them any other way. Do they? What do they do with my money? I have to pay to use the roads and they're not fit for using! The government are ripping us motorists off. And as for the safety aspect! Are they trying to wipe bikers off the face of the earth? Hoping that we'll either give up riding or maybe have an accident which will mean we can no longer exist as bikers. Some of the potholes around here are so deep you could fall into them and never reappear. Blah, blah, blah ....

Rant over. What I am actually concerned about is when to re-tax my bike. I SORNed it and now want to renew the road tax in order to get back on the road in April. As the first weekend in April is the 2nd/3rd I'm wondering how to get my disc for then but not have to pay for March.
I will look into it and get back when I find a way.

The answer is simple. Renew at a post office.

When to apply
If your tax is due to run out at the end of the month, you can renew it from the fifth day of the month.
If your vehicle has been untaxed, because you’ve just bought it, the tax disc has run out or a SORN is in force, you can tax from the first day of the month in which you apply.
If you want the tax disc to start on the first day of the next calendar month, you cannot tax your vehicle more than two days in advance.
