Anybody know the answer to this. basically I have a car on SORN which my brother wants to buy and drive straightaway, now if I go with him to post office with mot and insurance can we sign log book over and tax it at same time on his name?

as obv if we post log book off will be 2 weeks or so before it comes back and he can tax.

cant find anything online.

any help is appreciated

Thanks

can tax it online mate, so i'd assume once that's done as long as it has valid MOT and insurance will be un sorn'd.

You can just tax it online...?? Use the green slip (new keeper) and then get him to fill in / send off the rest.

Yes, you can also do it online via the 12 digit number on the new keeper supplement or by phone

Why not simply tax it online

Or as you say at the post office, not sure what the problem is tbh

Renewal is 11 digits, new keeper is 12. It's not that hard just follow the steps carefully by reading.

Cool will try online in morning. Always done it at post office. Time to get with new technology i guess. Will update if i have any issues. Insurance doesnt start till midnight tonight. Mot was done today.

online or by phone I taxed a car last month and it took 5 mins to sort out when at the dealers - I am guessing it's the same for SORN as thats only a notification it's not currently being taxed so it should work the same as taxed - sold new tax except no refund will be due.

Not always the case - I taxed my car this month and the first digit was 9 (remainder 11 digits are same as V5 Doc Ref No.)

cheers its done. anybody know if you can tax other peoples cars online? for example your sons car etc? or is it a case of bank transfer and they have to do it.

I don't see why not, I tax my wife's car online, it is registered in her name and insured by her

I use my bank details (separate bank account)

Tidgy

hmm, strange. how they can give you 9 digits but side asks for 12 i have no idea.

A bit of confusion here i think....

There are 12 digits on the new keeper supplement (green slip). What I was saying in response to your comment that add a ZERO if you have 11 digits is not the case. As on my Audi the first digit was a 9 and then the remainder 11 digits were same as the V5 Doc Ref No. as found on the front page of the LogBook. Therefore the first digit on the Green Slip will be different for each vehicle.
