da feck you on about, once the logbook is signed the new owner is only paying tax from that date, just think about it, if it was otherwise our motor tax office wouldn't know who to chase for the unpaid tax, or when brought to court there be no proof to hang new owners for it, hence you change name on logbook and pay tax from that day, trust me, it worksSo there wont be any hassle over unpaid tax!

Feckin hell, calm down lads!
It wasn't always the way that the new owner only pays from when they buy the car. The govt. brought in some changes a few years ago to try and squeeze more money out of the ordinary man. Basically, if you had a car sitting in the garage at home that wasn't taxed, you either had to declare it off the road, or pay all the back tax owed on it. They announced this measure publicly only a day or 2 before it was being implemented. There were queues of thousands outside motor tax offices up and down the country, mostly it was people who had got away with not taxing their car for the past while, and now they were trying to say it had been garaged all that time, to avoid paying a nasty lump sum.
Now, whether it was just a rumour, or whether there was some possible truth in it, the belief was that this would apply to new owners too. Hence, if you didn't pay your tax for the last 2 years, there wouldn't be a hope of selling your car on again, as nobody would touch it. Either way, that's what was engrained in peoples minds, and that's why, to this day, people put "declared off road since..." or whatever, in their ads. As we can see from the posts above, there are still some people who are unclear about the whole situation, so having the paperwork in order can only be a good thing.0 -
