Depending on when the tax ran out .
Firsty your sister will be to blame , fine , points but saying this it all depends if she got caught.
They normaly do nothing if the car has been out of tax for up to 14 days
They will of course chase you as the keeper
Saying that I whould have thought if she had been caught , without tax she whould , have been stoped
I hope all goes well
ps I hope she was insured to drive your car , as this whould become a bigger problem than the tax disc |

£80 fine... DVLA website will tell you all the facts... but it could get crushed... go tax... or sworn it off the road! |

You can't drive an untaxed car. If you are not using it you should declare it SORN or you will be fined. Your insurance would be invalid if you drove without tax. Give your sister a slap! |

It has nothing to do with whether the car was driven or not.
The new Road Tax rules, which came into force on 1 January 2004, mean that the keeper named on the Vehicle Registration Certificate (the logbook) is legally responsible for taxing the vehicle until the DVLA has been notified that it is off the road or has been sold, transferred, scrapped or exported.
If you don't tax your vehicle on time you will receive a penalty of up to £80. Every month the DVLA will carry out computer checks to identify vehicles that do not have a valid tax disc. They don't need to see your vehicle on a public road to find out if its tax disc is up to date. They just need to check their computer, which stores details about every registered vehicle and vehicle keeper in Great Britain.
If you don't use or keep your vehicle on a public road, you must make a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) declaration instead of renewing your tax disc. If you don't you will receive a penalty of up to £80. Before you start to use or keep your vehicle on a public road, you must get a valid tax disc.
By law, you must tell the DVLA if you sell, transfer, scrap or export your vehicle. If you don't, you will continue to be liable for taxing it and will receive all correspondence relating to this and any other offences committed in the vehicle.
So you would have got caught anyway, whether your sister drove the car or not.
I assume she got caught? |

did she get nicked? if not dont worry... and get it taxed
however, if she did get nicked, its a whole diffeerent ball game... and you as the owner get charged with allowing the (other person) to use the car...and the only way out of that is to charge your sister with theft. |

if you havn't got any tax then you are automatically not insured..so if she wraps up the car around a lamp post then you'll get nothing from the insurance co. if the old bill catch you driving around in an un taxed vehicle then they can crush the car. If she injures or kills someone in an accident then she's going to clink. get some tax sorted or take the keys away...duh! |

Report the car as stolen for the period concerned, grass up your sister, she will probably get time, and well
She won't be able to drive. |

Well, it's likely you'd get fined or the worse getting a jail sentence.
There's a new law where it's a possibility that you would get your car squashed up.
Sorry. |

The vehicle may be impounded, and you have 7 days to insure it, then pay a release fee before it gets scrapped. Oh and then pay a fine. |

She'll get a fine, points on her license and a ban is a possiblity. If its still untaxed, park it off road to avoid them taking to the crushers.. |
