car tax question

I am selling my car. how late can I claim the tax back and if I do it today, will it cease to be taxed as of today or will it remain taxed to end of month? If I do it on the last day of the month will it affect the nexts months claim for a refund? the only issue is that in order to claim I have to record date of sale as today. bit of a minefield. TIA

IIRC, if you SORN it, it takes effect from the next month. You'll still be taxed until then.
If you sell it taxed, you'll get a partial refund pro-rata'd from when the V5 is processed.

Actually, I've only SORN'ed it mid month with the reminder, this is off the DVLA site..
Immediately
Use the 11-digit number on your vehicle log book (V5C) to take the vehicle off the road immediately.
On the first day of next month
Use the 16-digit number on your vehicle tax reminder letter (V11) to take the vehicle off the road from the first day of next month. You can only use this number once.

Unless it’s changed I think you only get a refund on full months.
