Vehicle Tax or SORN cannot be passed on when a vehicle changes hands
On our earlier blog posts we informed you about the new changes regarding the vehicle tax laws that came into force on 1st October 2014 yet it seems that some motorists still do not fully understand when they need to tax a vehicle.
The new ruling which came into force on 1st October 2014 was the removal of the paper tax disc. The DVLA stopped issuing the paper discs when you taxed your vehicle although they do still issue you with a reminder when your vehicle tax is due.
The mistake some motorists are still getting confused by is that the Vehicle Tax or SORN no longer transfers over to you when you purchase a vehicle.
Even if the vehicle still has road tax on it this no longer transfer to the new owner, you have to tax the vehicle afresh.
The message that the DVLA want to get out is ‘Vehicle Tax or SORN cannot be passed on when a vehicle changes hands’.
