Bit confused on this --have sold m/cycle (still in my garage ) and sent V5 to DVLA with new keeper details on.Do they now refund me road tax (from Dec onwards ? )and if so am I still taxed for rest of this month ?
Selling /road tax ?

I believe they will refund tax from Dec but you are not taxed until end of Nov. Good question.
You still lose the current month but get the remainder back from DVLA, may take a little while though as we are in lock down!
Yeah you are still taxed till 30 November
Ok just seen previous posts and I might be wrong

Let me fix that for youOk just seen previous posts and Imightbe wrong
Are you sure..?
As the v5 has been sent in the new owner would have to tax it from Nov 1st if he wanted to run it. DVLA think it is off road and untaxed.
If you do it online then its all instant and from that point your not taxed you can check and it will show not taxed
You don't get the month your in refund you get from the next full month refund
Its the same if you post it but its just from when they process it which seems to take about a week from posting docs in

It is funny, people on here say "oh it's on Facebook, it must be true" yet here we are with contradicting answers in minutes.

New owner will need to tax it from the very point he buys it if he wishes to ride/drive it and this is done online or by phone
No one can pass tax over
Of course you can cheat the system and if the docs are all posted off the technically the bike will show still taxed until docs processed but its not meant to work like that

What’s contradicted? The consensus which is correct is that you lose the remainder of the month and then get the rest back.

There is the insurance issue also--when I sold my work van I cancelled ins and ended up paying more to cancel than I had back off them---was told it is illegal to not cancel ins?
Correct. Or more accurately, it is illegal to have two policies running on one vehicle. If the new owner has left it in your garage it is up to him to insure it. Much better to get him to take it away.

You will NOT be taxed from the date of reg change but will only receive a refund for FULL months so refunded from December

Last time that happened to me I has less than a month to run but the cancel fee was vastly out of proportion to the refund. I told the desk jockey to forget and cancel at renewal.
The problem with that is, should the new owner not insure it and have an accident you would be the insured party. I had this very same conversation with an insurer and they too wanted a chunk to cancel. Won’t use them again

No, I wouldn't be the insured party, I would have the bill of sale showing I no longer was the keeper and the V5 would confirm that.
You may not be either the owner nor the keeper. But you would still be the insured.
If the police PNCed it it would come back to you.

And again, I would prove I was neither keeper or owner but simply hadn't cancelled insurance which I doubt, unlike not having insurance, is a criminal offense.
Quote from Monetsupermarket.
If you're selling your car and not replacing it, you should cancel your cover immediately as you no longer own the car and there's no point paying for cover you don't need. Failure to cancel could also result in a claim against your insurance if the new owner has an accident.28 Mar 2019

They have to take me to court.
It’s not that. Your insurers would have a claim against them. They would no doubt fight and may or may not win. Either way you would not be popular and may lose any NCB. Plus, the insurers may come after you for any losses. As I say, your call.

All hypothetical anyway, nothing happened.
Now I tell them I sold the vehicle and give them the new vehicle details then wait for the new mid term premium.
If I don't like it I change insurers at renewal.

Check on gov site tomorrow and see if it’s taxed then you can print it. But I think that you will not be taxed

Point is I still have the bike in my garage and the new owner can only ride it when I deliver it to him .
