It uses a range of enforcement measures including fines, penalties and wheel clamping.
Drivers whose vehicles get clamped must tax them before paying a release fee to get them back.
The DVLA offers a range of options for drivers to pay their vehicle tax through its online services.
The Courier previously revealed that thousands of untaxed vehicles were clamped or impounded by the DVLA across Tayside, Fife and Stirling in 2024.
