Answer 1

if you buy it now it will be dated from 1st of July and run out end of December  but if you wait until august 1st it will run until the end of January 09. if you do decide to wait until 1st august you will have to SORN the car with the DVLA it means statutory of road notification and you will have to keep the car off the road until august the 1st unless you risk being clamped and fined, also they do roadside camera checks using number plate recognition to see if any cars are used without being taxed.

Answer 2

You have to buy the disc in the  15 days before the old one expires, so you can do it now. You can do it on-line, by post or at many post offices. By post and at the post office, you have to show proof that the car is insured and the MOT certificate, if applicable. The new disc will run from 1/8/08-28/2/09 inclusive.

Answer 3

Answer 4

It runs out at midnight on the last day of the month shown on the disk.
