Isn't it the case though even if you tax your car today as the tax starts from the 1st April the new rate will apply?
Nope taxing today is at the old rate just taxed the GT4 today £520 for 12 months from 1st of April if I left it until tomorrow it increases to £570 for 12 months from the 1st of April.A couple of years ago, I noticed you could buy VED on the last day of the month to start the next day. Heavens, it's DVLA doing something to help the consumer! If you have an early start with a family, you don't have to faff about online before you set off. 
It's news to me that you buy it at the old rate on 31st March though. Damn....

Bit of an odd situation, i wonder if anyone here knows the answer.
I am going to transfer ownership of a car, and new owner tax it tomorrow, obviously it will be at the new rate. What if i was to transfer tonight would it let the new owner tax from tomorrow at the old rate if it still applies tonight?
Can’t seem to find an answer online?

Seriously?
Changing the keeper won't affect when it's taxed or by whom.
Ok (firstly its a parents car, I don’t have all details to hand)Changing the keeper won't affect when it's taxed or by whom.
Well the tax runs out today. The plan is to transfer ownership to another family member tomorrow and then new owner taxes it tomorrow at new cost of £180.
If tax can be purchased today its at the old rate of £145? to start on the same day.
I’m curious if ownership change means tax can be applied from tomorrow as per existing owner or whether it means tax starts back at the 1st March because new owner.
I know its only a small saving, but as its the government, I’ll keep as much ad i can from them.
Edit: i think the rate increase is 165 to 180 so not as big a saving as first thought

I just picked up a new car on Wednesday and just taxed it on the day, because even though I'll lose a month, it was still overall about the same value per month as when it goes up on the 1st April. My thinking was it was better to do it in March because if they repeat the rise at the same time next year, then I'll get it at the pre-rise price, effectively deferring it for a year.
The car in question is from 2002 though, not new, so I don't know how it affects new cars.

Does anyone know what the new rates will be
Our Tiguan Auto renews each year and is paid via Direct Debit
I had an email a few days ago saying the charge for this year is £330 from 1st April and money will be taken from our account on 3rd April
Our car is pre 2017 and classed as band J
I've had a quick look online and as far as I can make out the new rate seems to be £365

Just to update…no bueno for this. Changing keeper today only allows taxing back from 1st March again, no option to start it from tomorrow.Well the tax runs out today. The plan is to transfer ownership to another family member tomorrow and then new owner taxes it tomorrow at new cost of £180.
