Buying Another Vehicle
Getting it this weekend, which is the end of June/beginning of July - how do I stand with taxing it and as I am disposing of my old one what about a refund? I know I have to SORN my old one, and can only claim back full months and have to tax new one for full months - but would be best to put the date of buying as the 1st July, then tax the new one from then? If I get it before the weekend (and it is taxed under old owners name) could I insure it to drive it on Saturday? Or does it have to be in my name to insure it? Any ideas how best to work it without having to pay a full month's tax for one day.

That means whenever you buy a used car, it will be untaxed. By law, the car must be taxed at the point of sale, and driving off without it could land you with a fine.
