Honda Jazz - Car tax situation with purchasing a car before Oct - TheFiddler

Quick question for the experts on the forum! I am looking at purchasing a 12 plate Honda Jazz this week from a franchised dealer.It currently is taxed until 1st April 2015. If I buy the car shortly will I have to retax the vehicle come 1st October or will the existing VED last until April 2015? Thanks in advance.

Purchase before 1st October then current VED will still be current and continue until April 2015. Purchase after 1st October then new tax required.

No need to display current tax disc after 1st October, either. You can throw it away!

The way I see it is if the car is bought before 1st october,then the tax stays with the car and is valid. If the car is purchased after this date ,then the tax is void and a rebate can be obtained by the registered keeper on the V5.However as the car is at a dealer,neither he nor you can reclaim the tax.
