Not really sure what the whingers are complaining about really. The fact they can't overcharge the buyer for the remaining tax themselves?
True. You only get refunded for a full month, and nothing for the part month used. However, you have to pay for full months even if there are only a few days of the current month. This means that (if I am right) the government is making on average £10 each time a car changes hands. With (according to the web) 2.73 million used cars changes hands each year, this equates to £27.3 million in the Treasury that they didn't really earn, just stole by changing the rules!KP wrote:What we are complaining about is that now the system is fully digital there is nothing to stop them rebating on the day the car is sold and taxing from the day the car is sold. When you sit and think about it the new system will get £100's of millions in extra rfl from doing bugger all. As someone who buys and sells the odd car it's a pita for me now and adds extra expense to my overheads for it
You can now tax a car without having insurance.northern_mike wrote:

This was always the case with the old system. If you cashed the tax in on a car on the 18th and I bought it on the 25th and needed to use it before this October, the same money is lost to the govt.KP wrote:When you sit and think about it the new system will get £100's of millions in extra rfl from doing bugger all.
The only rule that has been changed is that you can't sell the tax with the car. Good thing IMO. The financial aspect hasn't changed at all unless you like overcharging people for the tax already remaining on a carHell Razor5543 wrote:True.

If you go to the Post Office for tax, you no longer need MOT or Insurance with you & they no longer check on line, it is up to you to have it in place.northern_mike wrote:How?Fake Concern wrote:You can now tax a car without having insurance.northern_mike wrote:
