Birth certificate - again for some...

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by SeanOC, Oct 30, 2016.

  1. Sorry guy's I think that I've see the answers somewhere on the forum but cant find them now...

    I have just paid the princely sum of 235.00 to DVLA for Cyril then thought about it being a 1977 bus..
    Have checked the M-Plate decoder & I can see that planned production was Thursday, 27 Jan 1977 and the original VW Personal Export Certificate is dated 1-4-1977

    I have read that the Birth Certificate can take forever to get but that the Data Sheet is sufficient, does anyone have the procedure or place to request this from?

    Also I have read that vans built before 7th Jan are tax free from 1st April & those after are from the following year, but I seem to remember reading that this has changed. does anyone know?

    Thanks for the assistance
    Sean

    Yep. If built before the 7th Jan, it becomes tax free in April of its 40th year. Pretty sure that hasn't changed.

  4. Oh well, still need to get this sorted for next year I suppose.
     
  5. Where do you get the declaration from?

  6. Send these a e mail with m code and they will get back to you with a proper manufacture date, I used when registering getting historic tax status.

    Is that the same mob who have one person on the gig and charge you for the cert?
     
  9. Not sure but I'm told that it costs less and you get it much more quickly, hence the question

    Yes it is but they send the email about 8 months quicker than they fill in a certificate.
     
  11. No, they just send you a return e mail with just about the same info as a £50 cert.
