change car ownership and road tax

gerdo

Hello all,
I will be buying my sisters car and want to plan when is the best time to do it to avoid losing out on the road tax.

If she registers it sold on the last day of the month, can I just tax it from the first day of the next month or will the DVLA have me down as the new owner from the last day of the month, and make me pay road tax for the whole of that month?

Thanks
