If you don't use it there are no taxes.


If on private property and appropriately SORNed, then maybe not. But Mr
P did NOT say that it was on private property. Nor that he had applied
for SORN - merely that he doesn't use it. Perhaps he wishes to retain
the option of using it without going through the de-SORN rigmarole?
Perhaps he wishes or has to keep it not on private property.


So he is using it then, even if its only to hold the tax disc on the road.
