I think you can get away with it if you're awaiting the disc. dibbles
checking can find out now if it's taxed, and once you fork over the
electronic readies, it's taxed.
's a bit like the thing where if you've ALREADY applied by post, you have 14
days grace. If you sent the application by post on the 29th, you're allowed
14 days to get the new disc. Presuming that you tax online back to the
beginning of the current month, I assume that they can only do you for
"failure to display", but I doubt they'd take that to court in a situation
where you could prove you'd paid for it.
