Tax...

Post by bad2bone13 »

The new laws as of 1st October state that the tax for your vehicle must be surrendered by you the owner before sale of the vehicle, it is the new owners responsibility to tax your new vehicle...
Thats how I read it at .gov...
Cheers

Even old style existing tax cannot be transferred to new owner with the vehicle.
