where you will read:

Selling a vehicle
From 1 October, vehicle tax is not transferable so you won’t be able to include any remaining tax when you sell a vehicle. If you sell a vehicle after 1 October and you have notified DVLA, you will automatically get a refund for any full remaining months left on the vehicle tax. The refund will be sent to the keepers details on DVLA records so you need to make sure that these are correct.

So all the paper they save from printing tax discs can now be sent out in the form of a cheque.....

Still so many people unaware of the new rules, browsing the ads as I do everyday, a seller of a 120d boasting a 12month MOT and "just taxed yesterday so buyer will have 6months tax!!"

Oh dear!
