Taxing a tractor.

[foul mouth phil]

Have just come across a tractor that has been on the farm for 19 years that has never been taxed, it’s the only machine which goes on the road without one, we have never had a reminder for it,this is why I think it has sort of slipped the net.I only found out when checking the due dates of the other machines on the DVLA website.When I entered the reg no off this tractor to check the tax due date it said they may investigate why it hasn’t been Taxed.Will I not pass go,not collect £200,and go straight to jail if I tell them why it hasn’t been taxed.We have the log book in our name and it hasn’t been SORN.

Tell them it hasn’t been on the road but you want to now and tax it.
I wouldn’t worry, the penalty for not handing over payment for free road fund is minimal.

Transfer the log book into a different name and then tax it as a new owner

This. I certainly wouldn’t admit that it’s been on the road, ever.

I had a similar thing with an old fork lift a couple of years ago
Said it had been on the farm it’s whole life and never been on the road
Taxed no problem
It’s zero tax anyway so they haven’t missed out on any cash

Tax it , there won't be any issues . I've done it.

What they going to do, ask you to pay the back tax?

The OP has said that it has never been sorned, perhaps it should have been. Don't the DVLA levy a fine for not doing it? I seem to remember that it's only vehicles that have not been taxed since before about 1998 (?) that don't have to be either taxed or sorned.

My old boss failed to tax a tractor after getting the reminder, got a £60 fine. If not taxed it needs to be sorn.

Similar here, taxed it and jeard no more .

If the DVLA chased up everybody with an untaxed vehicle they would not have time for a cup of tea in the next 20 years.
Instead far simpler to let any honest person fess up and be fined £100.
Far cushier than chase half the chavs in the UK

Yes got all the paper work for it but no tax reminders or old tax disc’s, ive found loads of paper work for everything else going back years,but nothing for this one tractor.The log books in our name as the first owner and that’s about it,
