Tax Your Vehicle With No Logbook
About Tax My Motor
Tax My Motor is a team of road tax advisers with over 25 years of experience in the motor industry.
For many years, we've helped motor traders deal with vehicle tax, including situations where the usual documents or reference numbers aren't available.
We realised that members of the public often face exactly the same problem. You may have bought a vehicle without a logbook, lost your V5C, or simply not have the reference number needed to tax your vehicle through the usual online process.
That's why we opened Tax My Motor to the public.
We've taken our experience from working with the motor trade and created a simple online process for people who need help taxing a vehicle without a logbook.
Simply enter your vehicle registration on our website, follow the steps and provide the required information. Our team will take care of the application from there.
Enter Your Registration
Enter your vehicle registration and check that the vehicle details shown are correct. You can then select the tax option you require and provide the information needed for your application.

We Process Your Application
Your application is passed to our road tax team for processing. Once processed, you will receive confirmation of the outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for the practical questions that come up before you decide whether to continue.
Built for quick decisions
Move from uncertainty to action without working through pages of filler.
Can you tax my vehicle without a V5C?
Yes. Tax My Motor can tax your vehicle without a V5C logbook. This is the main service we provide.
Can you put the vehicle into my name?
Yes. Where required, we can complete the relevant application to register the vehicle into your name as part of the process.
What happens to the tax when the logbook is changed?
We tax the vehicle as a new keeper. This means you can change the logbook once after we tax the vehicle and the tax will remain on the vehicle.
My vehicle is in the disabled tax class. Can you tax it?
Yes. We can change the tax class and tax the vehicle at the same time for you.
Why isn't my vehicle showing as taxed on the GOV.UK website?
The DVLA vehicle enquiry service does not always update immediately. It can take up to 48 hours for the new tax status to appear online. Once your vehicle has been successfully taxed, Tax My Motor will provide you with a vehicle tax receipt confirming the transaction.
I'm having problems setting up a Direct Debit. Can you help?
Yes. If you're unable to tax your vehicle because of a problem with the Direct Debit process, contact us and we can advise whether we can assist.
What types of vehicles can you tax?
We can assist with taxing a wide range of vehicles, including cars, vans and other UK-registered vehicles. If you're unsure about your vehicle, contact us before proceeding.
Can you tax vehicles in Northern Ireland?
Yes. We can tax vehicles registered in Northern Ireland.
