Car Tax/Advice on buying a second hand car
Hi we are going to pick up a car tomorrow but having spoken to an insurance company they have said we must tax it before driving it ? The current owners have got the car taxed and we thought as soon as we get the V5 we then get the car taxed in our son's name .Are we right in our thinking ?Many thanks in anticipation.

The car has to be taxed by the new keeper the date of transfer of sale or you get an automatic fine in the post.
