Trade in tax advise

I recently traded in my car which is due to be taxed on the 1st March.
The dealer we traded it in to does not become the owner, the new buyer would be.
What if it has not been sold by then?
The reminder has come & we are unsure what we need to do.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks
We have not posted a copy of the trade in to DVLA, will do that first thing tomorrow.
Our insurer cancelled the insurance the day we picked the new car up as they could not match the best price we found for the new car.Life is short, smile while you still have teeth0 -
Did you send the slip off from the V5 saying you sold it to a dealer? If not expect more paperwork from the DVLA.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
