Some while ago the DVLA made changes to the way VED (road tax) works.
The tax no longer follows the vehicle and a refund is made if the car is sold
part way through the year.
The first year is also more expensive than subsequent years.
What happens if you buy, say, a previously registered three month old car?
Is the new tax still at the higher first year rate?
I doubt if the DVLA would charge a pro-rata 9 month / 3 month rate.

AIUI there is an additional charge on registration.
The normal rate applies from the second tax payment.
No idea how the refund works.

The refund goes to the previous owner.
normal cars £145 /£135 hybrids + Premium of £320 on £40K+ list price cars
Pure electrics over £40K will not pay a premium after 1st April
