The advice I had from the DVLA in Swansea was that it would take around 4 weeks for them to re-register the car in my name and only then would I be able to tax it!
So I went to my local DVLA office (Leeds) and they sorted it in next to no long (as long at it took me to queue). They took my application to re-register (which is free) but were happy to tax it in the meantime. Really good service.
Oh and the Government are closing all regional DVLA offices next year! Madness - the place was packed.
