While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 161 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers generally found the process straightforward and easy to use, appreciating the simplicity and quick completion of tasks online. Many also highlighted the system's ease of navigation, making it accessible even for those who are not particularly tech-savvy. Conversely, a small portion of people felt they were unexpectedly charged for services that are often available for free. These charges typically included an initial small fee followed by recurring monthly subscription fees for membership or information. This often happened because users inadvertently accessed the site, mistaking it for an official government website.

What a scam

What a scam, you check to see if your car tax is up to date and this site comes under a Government help site.
A payment of £0.50 taken then a few days later a payment of £7.95 taken. And shock horror a month later another payment of £7.95 taken. I have handed this over to my bank to chase up to get my money back. Advice for others do not use scam.

this company scams people who search for car tax on google. It appears first in googles answers and then charges you for what you could do for free just by going to the UK.GOV site. it charges 50p initially but then charges £7.99pm until you cancel your account with them (which you have no way of knowing you have commited to). Avoid at all costs

Company scamming people into thinking they are taxing vehicle

I needed to tax my vehicle and this website is the first one that comes up, it some how lurs you in to write your vehicle license in. You think you have taxed your vehicle but all that's happened is you have paid to see information you already know and charges you£7.95 a month for it with an initial 50p starting charge. I then received a final notice about my vehicle not being taxed. This is not fair, this is a scam and more importantly you are presuming your vehicle is taxed.

100% SCAMMERS/THEIFS

Don't remember ever signing up to anything ever and been taking £7.95 a month for nothing. Never heard of you and never had a single communication from you.
Totally illegal practice and nailed of scammers.

Im sure I will get your generic automated robot reply of "i am sorry your experience was difficult......."
