Car Change Insurance and disability road tax

qwerty2849949

I recently just bought a new car and it will be here on Thursday.

I plan on transferring the ownership for my old one to my father. 
The car is taxed free via using my mother disability I believe its for the full year and it probably has about 6 months left on it.

As I understand once I transfer ownership to my dad then he would need to tax and insure the car himself and the tax that I have on it currently would stop. Normally I think you get a refund for the tax for the months you didn't use. As I am using the free disability tax what exactly happens? 

In my head they'll send something so I can re use the tax but could be completely wrong, We plan on reusing the tax on the same car as my new car is a EV and its free. 


I'm hoping that makes sense if not please let me know

I'm presuming you only used the car for your mother's benefit and not for your personal use, and your father will be doing the same.

In which case, the disabled free tax stops when you transfer the car and no refund is due. Your father would register your old car in his name using form V62 and apply to have the car registered as disabled for car tax using your mother's disability letter. The EV is completely separate.
