Hi Sensei. If you only keep the car for a month after taxing it, I guess you lose 5 months as there is no keeper for the tax to be refunded to. However, if you pay monthly by direct debit for the tax as this is now a new option, then as soon as you sell the car, a new owner is registered and you stop paying. Maybe this is the solution? I will try it and report back If anybody else has any information please feel free to chip in. Many thanks.

There is still a lot of confusion. Does anybody know what will happen if I tax online a car that I currently have 'In Trade' without submitting any new keeper details? It looks like the new online tax website will allow me to do that and is not asking for any details of the new keeper. It simply checks that there is a current MOT. That way I could still use one car for personal use (taking the kids to school etc) without adding my name as a keeper. My trade plates are fine for company business and test drives but as we all know, are definately not fine for anything personal. If I taxed the car as above, what will happen to the unexpired road tax when I register a new keeper once the car is sold? Has anybody tried this yet?
