Car tax runs out the end of this month.

Car being traded in on 2nd of next month.

Don't suppose DVLA's computer would overlook the 2 days and doubt
whether the garage will backdate their ownership of the car.

Looks like the best option is to drop the car off on the 28th and manage
without until the new one is available on the 2nd.

Don't really want to tax for 6 or 12 months and get 5 or 11 months back.

Any other ideas?

TIA for any.

According to our son who is a member of Manchester police, the DVLA, nor
the police would get involved until after the time that it takes for the
DVLA computer to catch up. I don't know the number of days, but I would
expect it to be more than two. The police can phone insurance companies
up, but that is subject to even longer delays.
