remember , when buying a car the tax does NOT go with the car (used to , but not anymore)
Correct, dealers can tax it for you.I think if a deal taxes it, it does?
AFAIK, The tax now never transfers. It's always cancelled (the previous owner gets a refund, in this case it would be the dealer) then restarts with the new owner.I think if a deal taxes it, it does?

Do it online, but tax it before you send off the new keepers form, since once they receive it, and issue a new one, you have to wait to receive that before being able to tax it, hence voiding any insurance you have, and making the car undriveable
I bought a car and the dealer taxed it at the Post Office and it seemed to work and stay which surprised me even after a change or RK.AFAIK, The tax now never transfers. It's always cancelled (the previous owner gets a refund, in this case it would be the dealer) then restarts with the new owner.
Yeah absolutely, that's what im saying though. It will always be taxed to the registered keeper, not the car.If it is included in the deal they will do it for you in your name before you drive the vehicle away and/or before it is dropped off.
New owner only, on first registrationJust since we're on the subject of taxing cars.
With the new rules in place. I know there's the premium for cars over £40k for the first 5 years. Does this just apply to the first owner or is it passed down the chain?
I know it's a fairly insignificant amount of money when spending that kind of cash but i was curious when looking recently.
It has to be taxed with your name and address. They can do it for you, but it shouldn't "carry over", If I were you I would double check all the paperwork is correct.I bought a car and the dealer taxed it at the Post Office and it seemed to work and stay which surprised me even after a change or RK.

If you get an ex-demo for example, you don't pay a penny (other than the 12 months tax)
It was fine, I don't have the car anymore or the receipt. I checked the online checker for a good fortnight after as I was sceptical.It has to be taxed with your name and address. They can do it for you, but it shouldn't "carry over", If I were you I would double check all the paperwork is correct.
Lovely, i thought i'd read that but wasn't sure. Have been inspired by the Mustangs recently posted and the 2018 models are appealing as the tax ends up at £140 as opposed to £550 for cars on the old system!
