How Do We Check For Tax On Van

[DICKIEG]

As of October 2014 there will be no need for a tax disc to be displayed, so my question is, as we are responsible for checking the vehicles how are we going to know if they are taxed??? who will pay the fine etc if we are caught driving with out it

What a brilliant question,one that I suspect RM haven't thought about.Off the top of my head I suspect that it will be you the driver because as you rightly say you are responsible for the vehicle checks and expect to be fined if caught with any defects on the vehicle.I would suggest that each DO has a list of vehicles in a easy to find location so that drivers can check if the vehicle is taxed otherwise you will be running a very fine line.

There need to be a marker in the log book or similar to indicate the tax date and how long until it expires.

LTB 578/14 Motor Vehicle Tax

Letter to Branches

No. 578/2014 Ref: 300 Date:16th September 2014

To: Branches with POSTAL Members

Dear Colleague,

Motor Vehicle Taxation – Royal Mail Group Vehicles

Following a number of enquiries from Branches regarding the cessation of the requirement to display Motor Taxation Discs in vehicles, we have made representation to Royal Mail on the subject and received the following response, which is reproduced below for your information.

On 1st October 2014, there will no longer be the requirement to display a tax disc in any vehicle registered in the UK. This is the same for both businesses and private users and Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) will be used to detect non-compliance. Checking of tax disc expiry will no longer be needed as part of the routine vehicle checks carried out by our drivers. As is the case now, any late licensing penalties received will be paid centrally by Royal Mail and there is no liability for our employees.

In order to manage the new requirement, we have developed a robust system that will ensure our vehicles are taxed. The process will continue to be refined over the coming weeks as automation will be enabled by the introduction of the M5 reporting system. For peace of mind, a useful link for individuals to check the status of their vehicle is: http://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Any enquiries to Bob Gibson’s Office, quoting reference 300, email address: hnutley@cwu.org or mstewart@cwu.org
Yours sincerely

Bob Gibson

So, will we be permitted access to the internet before we go out on delivery to check our vans are taxed?

You don't need access to check the vehicle is taxed mick,
