After you declare SORN it must be kept off public road for those few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revel Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) SORN it on 31st under your name. He can buy it on 1st and tax it. After you declare SORN it must be kept off public road for those few hours. You don't need to get a SORN for a couple of hours. That's just unnecessary paperwork for both the current owner and the DVLA. If there's a delay between the SORN and the new V5 being processed, then the new owner may find themselves pulled over by the police for driving a vehicle which shouldn't be on the road. That'll be wasting even more time for the police and the new owner. OP: Remember that taxing a vehicle doesn't confirm ownership of it. Nothing does. The closest thing to proof of vehicle ownership is a V5. Unused tax isn't refunded when the new owner taxes it... It is refunded when the new owner sends off the V5 and it has been processed by the DVLA. Edited August 10, 2016 by Revel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therascal Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 to get 6 months tax refund it needs to be SORNED on the 31st August, Sorn it on the 1st Sept and you will loose a months tax refund, only full months count for a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazmul Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 surely when you change ownership off the car the DVLA will cancel the tax and refund any payment due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orzel Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 DVLA refunds full month refunds. If you sell car on 31st you get one more month refund then selling on 1st next day. Best way to do it for seller is to SORN it when selling. Buyer can buy tax before 1st as far as I can remember. Seller sends off V5, that is important thing.

ivan edake Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 If a buyer buys tax before the 1st he will have to pay for the whole of the past month.The only way tax can be bought before the first is with the renewal reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
