You need an RF100 signed by a Guard and RF150 to declare for future use.
Easier to explain with an example, My E36 tax is out since 9/11. So I got RF100 signed and stamped by a Guard to state it wasn't used from 1/10/11 until 31/8/13, Then I filled in an RF150 and declared it won't be used from 1/9/13 until 31/8/14. Took both into the tax office and was issued a SORD receipt.
According to various sorces I'v red, Declarations need to be on their desk by closing time Monday, Anything received after will need 3 months tax to be paid before it can be SORD as the 3 month transition period ends 31st September.
In other words, Back tax will be owed from 1st October until you decide to tax it.
Only way out is to transfer the car into someone elses name, Tax will be only payable from the 1st of the month you become owner.
Sorry if it's hard to follow, I'm posting from my phone but any questioms just ask and I'll try answer.
