See #1.

It won't be taxed on a dealers forecourt.

If one didn't know better I'd say you're the new darkmatter.

So you're saying no cars on a dealer's forecourt are taxed?

It's an interesting stance to take, I'll give you that!

How do you answer post 7?

Well if tax ends at the change of ownership they won't be taxed will they? Unless every vehicle is personally owned by the dealer and registered to them.

This applies to any used car, not just those in-trade.

Bought a car for myself a couple of months ago and set up a direct debit to pay the tax online. No visit to the PO needed.

So the car could be taxed on the dealer's forecourt.

That was a quick flip-flop!

It's not possible for a buyer to tax an already-taxed car immediately.

Yes, it is.

The vendor gives you the V5C/2. You use the doc ref number from that to buy tax online.
The vendor posts the V5C to Swansea.
They receive it, process it, the refund is generated, and the new V5C comes to you.

Click "I don't have the V11"

Yeah cause all dealers add an extra keeper and buy tax every time they take a car into stock.
