The owner is going away for a few months and would like to cancel the car insurance policy, which is paid monthly. The tax runs out in May, when the user either plans to sell the car or have it crushed.

you cant leave a car on the public highway without insurance, what if someone drives into it? the best bet would be to send the tax back to get a partial refund and get rid of now, alternativly, leave the car off road....

If the user cancels the insurance then the car isn't insured to be on a public road so if anything happened to the car it would be their responsiblity. The car can be parked on a public road whileever the car tax is valid.
Once the tax runs out, the user can declare SORN (Statutory Off the Road Notice) but the car mustn't be parked on a public road as this will incur a fine.
(I know because I sold a car to someone and the tax ran out a couple of days later and I did tell him not to park it on a road if he wasn't taxing it straight away, he didn't tax it and left it on a road and got a fine plus he had to pay the tax for the full months since the tax had ran out, the bill came to me as the changeoever details hadn't been processed but it was written that if I was no longer the owner of the car, could I supply the details of who was)

The road tax will remain valid,however it is illegal for the car to be kept on a public road without the minimum of 3rd party insurance...If the owner is going to dispose of the car in anyway,why not do it before going away...

I don't understand this question. The road tax is valid as long as it's in date. If the car is off the road, which is what you seem to be saying, then you can get a refund on what's left of the tax.

the tax issue, when it expires, if you dont renew you automatcially get a fine if its no concidered off road, but to get Tax u have to have log book, mot, and insurance, have to be shown at the post office, hope that answers ur question

can't see where you said the car will be left on the road!!! best to send the tax in for a refund and put the car on a sorn off road till they get back, then they can make their mind up when they get home

No, it just invalidates the ability to keep the vehicle on a public road.
FYI, insurance policies are annual, regardless of how you are paying for it.

Your tax disc should become invalid, if you get stopped and you've got no insurance then you'll be done for no tax too.
He hasn't said anywhere that it is going to be left on a public highway!!!!
