You should only be due to tax it from the month you've taken ownership. But just so you know... you'll have to pay for it from 1st September. You can't do part of a month.

you only pay the tax from the start of the month in which it went into your name.
Seller should also have kept control of logbook and sent it themselves for change of ownership.

Did you have to get a renewal form to tax your car or can you tax it online using a pin number ?
