Tax renewal or SORN online is a very convenient way of managing this routine chore. You simply go to the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk/vehicletax and type in the 16 digit reference number on your V11 reminder which starts the 4 stage process: confirming you are the registered keeper with the code, confirming the vehicle details, setting the renewal period and finally a confirmation that it is done. With a tax exempt car it is very easy process.

What evidence of a current vehicle tax or SORN do you have now that a paper tax disc is no longer issued? Well you can print off the stage 4 confirmation webpage (see a copy alongside) and then keep a copy in the glovebox of the car so that should you be driving in France you can produce it for the traffic police as evidence you car is "taxed" in the UK.
