The .gov site about this is still a bit sketchy as I think they are still working it out. I wonder if anyone has realised that it may not be possible to tax immediately. I think they should make it from the end of that month as I have no doubt the seller will lose the remainder of the months tax but for those whinging about 1 months tax you do realise it's only £20 or so?
For 2nd hand car prices I think it levels the playing field and is good as you no longer have the tax remaining variable to weigh up.
I am in the "they should scrap VED and put it on fuel as it's fairer and gets rid of admin and more things to forget and fined for" but they won't. £400 VED puts buyers off and £0 or £30 VED attracts people to eco boxes. MPG figures less so as they are variable and hard to put into real world amounts.
