Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, under what statutory enactment is the validity of vehicle excise duty ended when a vehicle changes ownership.
This question was answered on 22nd June 2015
The change to end vehicle excise duty at the point of sale was introduced in the Finance Act 2014. That made it no longer possible to transfer a vehicle licence when there is a change of keeper.
