Hi everyone,
I have renewed my car insurance but not yet renew the road tax.
Can I know is there any grace period given in my situation for renewing road tax at a later date (1 day after the road tax expire date) without any penalty?
Thank you.

You can renew road tax any time. Even after expiry date. There is no penalty for that but only summon if you drive your car with expired road tax.

QUOTE(rocketm @ Jan 8 2019, 08:44 AM) ok, thanks for the info. Car license cannot renew late because this got penalty right? I don't think so either. If not mistaken, if you did not renew your driving license for more than a year (not sure 1 year or 2 years), you need to go to sit for driving test again. That's all. No penalty. Even if you did not renew your car insurance, no penalty. I believe that when you renew your road tax, it will follow the date of renewal, not expired date. If not why need to pay for no driving/usage period like when you are out of country for a long period. If you renew earlier, it will continue from the expiry date. If your insurance is already renewed and the road tax is renewed long after expiry, then your insurance period will not be in sync with your road tax period anymore. Most people will not like to be in this situation. Have to do things twice. However, nowadays everything can be done online.

Yes, it is just 1 day late so I think I still can do it on this Sunday in UTC coz my roadt ax expire on 12/1/2019 (this Saturday).

Nope, u can renew road tax any time as long as insurance already renewed, however the road tax will start from the same date as insurance date.
