It's a con alright. If a seller notifies the DVLA at 0001 hrs on the 1st of the month, he is deducted the full month cost of the tax he has paid, and the buyer must pay before he can drive his new baby. Two payers.....one car, double the income for the DVLA.....they should go back to the old system, the tax went with the vehicle.
With the current arrangement, untold numbers do not inform the DVLA until the end of that current month.....or even at all, which brings its own consequences...no insurance held.
It's a poor system.
