jellybaby Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have noticed someAdverts on sites saying the car taxed etc HowEver fromThe 1st of October any car sold will not have the remaining tax transferred over to the new owner. The new owner has toRe tax the car them selfs. If u don't thenU will be driving an untaxed car and moreThen likely to be pulled and car seized as it will also invalidate your insurance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Which is a load of bolloxThey made it difficult for people to buy/sell cars. Not everyone has a smartphone or access to Internet to tax it before they drive off.. Edited October 28, 2014 by richardc9052 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenJakalope Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 If I remember rightly, you have a week from buying the car to tax it and you can still do it at the post office. Still a rip as the gov gets tax for the same car twice in the month it's sold, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Isn't it if the car is still taxed on the old system it's fine until the tax comes around for renewal.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) No. New owner has to tax it straight away, so the car can effectively be taxed twice for the same month. I'm sure the police will be lenient if it is the day of purchase though. Edited October 28, 2014 by WallaceGlanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 How can the new owner tax straight away? When it isnt even in there name." when you buu the car you drive away with the tax remaining. As soon as that log book comes through to the new owner you get refunded your owed tax money and the new owner then goes on to tax it. So the tax is valid to the new owner until the log book states it has has a keeper change" . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza1996 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) My misses has just brought a new car today and we have had to tax it before we have even brought it and the tax starts at the start of this month so we have missed out on a whole month Edited October 31, 2014 by Glanza1996 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
