dont know for def but from what i've understood ....to date the seller surrender the remaining full months worth of tax and the buyer has to then retax it for a minimum of 6 months

[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
