Default car tax and mot

I thought I had this in my head, but do we have to tax and MOT on the date of registration, now? In my case it's a Saturday, do I do it before or after, anyone know, thanks?

Don't go to the IPO in Tavira on a Friday or at the end of the month or you will be stuck on the EN125 waiting to get in. By the way they close from 1230 to 1400 for lunch.

Thanks, I don't know why but we are in the habit of going to Olhao, there must have been a reason years ago, possibly we got there in the lunch hour.

Thanks, Cleri,
I'll have to go and see on the !st. That seems to be the reverse of what I thought they were trying to do, stop everyone going in the last few days of the month.

Cool Re: car tax and mot

I am not due an MOT yet for a couple of years ( as well as the car, ) is it like the UK where you book it into an official inspection garage or is it something completly different?

Yes there are various places to go,all official inspection centres.
They all seem to have different rules,in Algarve we had to make an appointment,up here we went to make an appointment,and they told us it wasnt needed,we could just turn up.
Can be a bit of a long wait sometimes!
Ask around,you will find some are stricter than others,find out where the cushy ones are
Or better still,do we what we do,turn up near lunch time,they are so desperate to go to eat,they dont look properly

I have now found the correct info. from the centre. If your car was registered before August 20th you can go until the end of the month as usual. If it was registered after that you must go before the registration date, for example, if your car was first registered 9 Sept. you have to go before 9th. Sepember, can be a month before if you want, but 9th. September is your deadline. This way they avoid the end of month rush.
P.S. It passed!!!
