What andy said twice.

No. Tax is now no longer traded with the vehicle.

Hi,

If I declare a vehicle as sorn, can it still be parked in front of my house or do I need to find some other place.

No.....the tax doesn't go with the bike now.

I'm just hoping the DVLA are not complete A-holes with this new system....... This is my situation:-

Bought new bike via ebay auction this week, seller stipulated must pick up within 3 days (before end of oct). I pick bike up on 30th and ask seller to date v5 transfer 1st of november. He won't as he wants his refund which can only be full months....fair enough.
I don't want to pay a full months tax for literally 30 odd hours left of the month. So I trailer the bike home and tax the bike online from the 1st of november.

By rights I should have declared the bike SORN as soon as I picked it up! Obviously if the DVLA make the link that the bike was sold on the 30 but not taxed until the 1st they might want paying.

Hopefully common sense will prevail but who knows with that mob.

If your V5 sale date says 30/9/2014... what then

[Pol Anorl]

[P.addy]

You posted it in a post box that day, not your problem.

If you paid for a bike pre-law change with 11 months tax, and they removed it...

[cartoon head]

It will take a couple of weeks from when he sends off log book for DVLA to change log book into your name and get it back to you.... it will still show up as taxed so it won't ping any ANPR cameras if you ride it home, admittedly sale date will be on log book , but will they fine you for the sake of just over a day ... Possibly ..

You can check on line, it will still be showing as taxed

[Polarbear]

Can't see the problem. You phone up and tax from the 1st November, previous owner gets his rebate up from & including November.

DVLA won't have a clue whats going on until V5 drops on their doorstep and you can just say you didn't ride it until 00:01 on the 1 st Nov.

Bike is continuously taxed.

Oh, sure, they got the payment system in place.

Out of interest, why did you pay them one second before you absolutely had to (i.e. when they bother to record the change of keeper)?

How can you be sure that the previous keeper ins't going to be refunded for the tax you have just put on it when the get the v5?
