    New owner = tax from day correction: first day of the month of purchase.

    Anything prior to that is down to the old owner, but I believe that they won't be chased for the back-tax either; open to correction on that.

    Seriously?

    p.s. You are liable from the first day of the month of purchase.

    Yup - edited above.

    Liable from day of purchase, but road tax = monthly minimum payment so buying on the 31st of a month means that the "month or part thereof" makes that month due.

    Reason for "seriously" wasn't your post Decent Skin btw.

    This same question gets asked in thread upon thread on this forum. It's a bit annoying tbh.

    Ah yeah - didn't take it that way; was just acknowledging the more-accurate-than-mine "P.S."
