Declaring car off the road while waiting to sell?

Hi all, I’m trying to sell my car and the tax is out since the end of March, so do I need to declare it of the road ? If I don’t what happens ? All advice welcome, thanks

Hi. You can't as it needs to be declared before the tax runs out. Nothing will happen you as presumably the car is off the road. It will only be an issue if you want to tax the car again or are still using the car.

The new owner taxes the car as normal from the month they become owner or they can declare it off road, once it's sold tax isn't your problem.

The below is a general 'signature' and not part of any post:
FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.
You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.
Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.
Public transport user? If you're sick of phantom ghost services on the 'official' RTI sources, check bustimes.org for actual 'real' RTI, if it's on their map it actually exists.
