You can renew road tax for 6 or 12 months. Before you can renew your road tax, you must meet the renewal prerequisites. Your vehicle must:

- Be insured for the period of road tax you are paying

- Pass the required vehicle inspection, if it is due

- Clear any outstanding fines

If an inspection is due, you will receive a notice.

For Weekend Cars/Off-Peak Cars/Revised Off-Peak Cars and Heavy Vehicles, there may also be additional prerequisites to meet.
