Wrong! Inflation is caused by price rises (and blatant corporate profit margin hikes, aka 'greedflation' and wage demands respond to try to keep parity (but freezing Personal Allowances means that the workers lose at least 20% of any pay rise)
Wage rising do cause inflation albeit indirectly, wage rises give cause to price rises to maintain profit margins.
You want to come here for a moan.
Wife.
Wrong! It has been shown that in this cycle, price rises (and profit margins via greedflation) have led the way, and the wage claims have followed. EU and Bank of England have both acknowledged this chain of events and EU is considering an investigation into the major culprits, usually a prelude to some hefty fines
How can myself and the buyer avoid paying two lots of road tax for the current month? Could I SORN it on say 30th, then transfer ownership, and they tax it on 3rd June?
That is how I would do it.

Due to the DVLA's mess up over the reg number, they couldn't take it yesterday as It doesn't have the right plates anymore, and they can't some back till saturday, they've paid me a big deposit. It won't go anywhere once new plates are on, just sit on my drive till they come, and I don't want to pay another month's tax if I can help it.That is how I would do it.
In fact, when I sold my camper afew years ago, it was two days before the end of the month and I said to the buyers if they liked I would declare transfer of keeper right on the last day so they didn't have to buy a full month tax for just 1 day of use. Or they just don't use the vehicle on the final day? whatever they liked.
Whilst a road camera could possibly pick up an officially untaxed vehicle due to change of registration, no one is going to chase up 1 untaxed day for an unused vehicle surely? Given you can post these forms rather than do it on-line, there has to be a few days of grace minimum for postal times?
(my own issue was that for some reason I couldn't tax my new van in my own name as it was already taxed in the old owners name despite me having the V5 in my name. very odd and not how it was meant to work (tax is meant to automatically get cancelled). And I had to SORN it in order to cancel the tax and start again. On the plus side, it was ME who got 10 months of tax refund, not the original owner
Note if someone concerned they would pay over money and not have ownership until a couple of days later .... ownership of a vehicle and being the keeper are different, so they still get a receipt showing they now own it, and get the V5 slip. It is a matter of trust I guess and you would hope a buyer/seller relationship would be trusting enough?
I don't think the difference databases sync up in "real time" so end up with delays.
