Advice Sought!


I have to tax the two-seater shortly. Six months' car tax costs £115.50. The new baby two-seater is due to arrive in late May or early June, so three months' tax would remain on the present jalopy; and that equates to about sixty pounds.

The baby two-seater will have twelve months' car tax included, at £35; and, they assure me, a tank of petroleum.

The question I put to you is this: Do I remove the tax disc from the roadster prior to trading-in; or do I forget about it and let money-bags Agnew's benefit from it? I have no wish to be naughty; nor to risk any reproach from them, by the way! When the salesman examined the car, the tax had barely a month remaining; nor was there any mention of it during negotiations.

All forthcoming answers and opinions will be much appreciated...

Cash the tax in , you arranged a trade in price for the car not the car and road tax. Would only leave tax on if i sold it privatly as gesture of goodwill

Tim legally you must leave the tax disc on the car until you get to the garage to exchange for the new jalopy. Agnews will then give you a form which you complete and send with the tax disc to the licensing office who will post you back a cheque for the remainder. Garages used to keep it but they no longer can get the money back - only you can!
