Hi

They have an easier way to make money. Pretty much every time a vehicle is sold it will land up with a month paid twice (once for the previous owner cancelling it, and once for the new owner taking it out).

All the best

Tax due soon and yes the handy way in which revenue will be extracted.

Guess Paddy. chose a good time to stop buying vehicles every month.

So, if I have to renew my tax in August 2014 I'll probably get a new tax disc that I have to display till October 2014, then can I kill it with fire?

So when the new rules come in, if you go to look at a car/bike being sold privately, decide you like it and buy it on the spot, how do you get it home? Can you drive it home then tax it, or do you have to go away, tax it with the new keeper supplement, come back and pick the vehicle up later? Or are they saying people should go view a car, then if they like it go away, wait for the post office to open, tax it, go back to the person selling and complete the exchange?

That's the bit I don't understand. If so, it's going to suck if you want to go view a car or bike on the other end of the country with the intention of buying if it checks out.

Think of all the lovely letters giving people the fantastic opportunity of a day out in court when this rolls in!

It still confuses me how I'd go and buy a bike and ride it home legally seeing as it will not have tax? Or do they use that first month as a sort of "leeway"?

Just had a look on there website. This makes me weep.

Because every Post Office is within vicinity of someone selling a vehicle.

Don't have my V5C to hand, but I'm guessing the middle paragraph is saying if you have a phone at hand, you could theoretically do it there and then?

[krarkol]

I don't see why a week "cool off" period can't be implemented. So you can drive the vehicle home instantly and have a week to sort it.

I meant so you can do it "legally".

Technically as soon as the forms have been sent off, the vehicle doesn't have any tax at all.

If you got a really picky copper, he could probably say it's not taxed in your name.

It won't flag up, but if you got pulled for any reason he may notice it.

Surely unless the seller is a total knob and cancels the tax right away, you'd have a day or two of it being still taxed until the DVLA gets all the details?

Ive bought cars on a weekend with no tax and drove them home, on the basis that, unless the copper is a complete and utter cunt looking for someone whos day he can ruin, if I did get pulled theyd just tell me to get it taxed ASAP and not let them catch me without it again or give me a producer.

Also does this mean that in October my tax disc becomes invalid and I have to re-tax it for a year online? Or does the tax already paid still count and I dont have to renew it til it expires?

[Rogerborg]

We don't know the details of how exactly they will mong it up.

I'm keeping my powder dry until then.

Under the new system surely you should be able to tax from the minute not just the month like you can insurance.

It used to be a selling point if a vehicle had tax on it, always paid a lot less if it had no tax, usually more than the cost of the tax.

Also why should I now pay for 1st-14th of a month when I collect the vehicle on the 15th? How much would I get back if I sold my vehicle on the 15th of a month? What will happen is that most sales of vehicles will happen at the end/start of a month.

If they finally allow change of keeper online, I'd do it before the new owner rides off, cancelling the VED.

If as a condition of sale I tell you that I'll do you a favour and wait until you've got home, better believe that I'll do it (and the insurance as well) the instant you're round the corner.
