Road tax

I may be selling a car relatively soon, however the tax is due end of this month, I intend to re tax for a month or two. My understanding is that the tax I put on is not transferable to the next owner, so prior to selling can I get a refund or is the remaining tax lost ?

I think you get a refund for every whole month left.

Exactly so.

Thanks for your replies, it used to be that way but as the tax is not transferable now, I wondered if they also stopped the refund under those circumstances. Hopefully not then.

The only factor is you lose whatever remains of the month and the new owner pays for the same month as a whole. OK on our free classic VED but double is being paid on all others, a good money maker for the tax man :roll:
You now have to tax online before you drive it home.
