Dear Mr Toomer,
Thank you for your further e-mail regarding the use of your vehicle for
private use.
Our previous e-mail explained that all cars are taxed and registered in
either the Graduated Vehicle Excise Duty tax classes or the Private
Light Goods (PLG) tax classes.
Reference to construction and use, and booklet ‘Notes about Taxation
Classes’ (V355/1) was provided for your information only. I am sorry
if this has caused you more misunderstanding of the taxation classes.
I draw your attention to our previous comprehensive reply surrounding
the taxation structure for cars and reiterate that all cars registered
from March 2001 are within the Graduated VED tax classes. Only those
registered before March 2001 or where the carbon dioxide emissions (CO2)
are not captured fall within PLG tax classes.
I shall confirm that all privately used cars that are to be, or have
been, used or kept on a public road must be taxed and registered. If you
are not keeping your vehicle on a public road, you must make a Statutory
Off Road Notification (SORN).
I have provided you with accurate advice. It remains that you must tax
and register your vehicle in the tax class for cars which ultimately, is
either the Graduated VED or PLG tax class. The fact that you do not
believe it is named appropriately cannot be a factor for consideration.
I trust this clarifies the position.

Dear FOI FOI, I quote you from your reply "The tax class a
vehicle
is registered and taxed at depends on its construction and its
use
on the public road. " That is it in a nut shell, My vehicles are
not used or constructed for commerce, why do I have to tax it
under
this term, you must understand that if a vehicle is used for
private use only there should be a separate taxation class, or
you
are inferring it does not need to be taxed, if not used for
commerce, to tax it under your terms I am breaking the law in
taxing under the PLG class by admitting a lie by coercion from
DVLA
as you give no other way of being truthful. Pleas explain why
there
is no Private use only class.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Toomer

Dear Mr Toomer,
Please see the attached reply to your question.

2009 19:29 >>> Dear Sir or Madam, I hope you can clarify how to
tax
my vehicle, it is used for private use only, it has never been
used
or ever will be used for commerce, that is buying or selling. How
can I "Lawfully" tax my vehicle. If I decide to not renew as
there
is no "Private" class, it does not come under your description
(quote from Beverly Williams Casework and Specialist Advice Zone
1/D16 Policy and External Communications Directorate DVLA It is
not
possible to license a vehicle in the "private use" taxation class
as no such taxation class exists.)
According to this I do not need to tax my vehicle
Yours faithfully, Steve Toomer
