Road tax penalties
Anyone who is the registered keeper of a vehicle must make sure that the car is taxed. Failure to do so could result in a fine of £1000 minimum. In addition the driver will have to buy a tax disc and may incur arrears for the amount of time that the car was untaxed and will pay a penalty of £80. The maximum penalty for making a false declaration by declaring SORN when the vehicle is actually being used or kept on a public road is £5000 and two years imprisonment.

As well as this, they could find their vehicle clamped by DVLA's wheelclamping contractor if they come across their untaxed car. They would be charged a fee to have their vehicle released and they would also have to produce a valid tax disc or surety fee.

Many people think that they have a few days leeway after their tax runs out. Unfortunately this is no longer the case and it is expected that drivers have a replacement tax disc for the day after the previous disc expires.
