I think you need to deregister the one you are selling with DVLA. You can only have 1 road tax exempt vehicle at any 1 time.

Have a look here:

You’ll usually be able to change tax class at a Post Office, but in some cases you may need to apply by post.

As far as i know you cannot just transfer it over to another car you need the certificate of exemption.

I contacted hmrc for mein on 13th of june and it’s still not arrived they said 7 to 10 working days. Dealer taxed the car for a year as it was a new car but either way you cannot have a car on the road without tax. So If you don’t have the certificate of exemption you’llhave to tax it till you do then they will refund you for every whole month.

Ring DWP PIP dept and request a new certificate of entitlement for your new car, once you get that you can tax the new car ONLY at a post office (unless it’s brand new) just don’t let the clerk stamp the cert as that will invalidate it for renewing online in the future.

You don’t have to do anything regarding changing the tax class of your old car as once you tax the new one the old tax stops immediately, just make sure you fill in the V5 and the rest is automatic.

Important
If you do not apply for, and receive, a new Certificate of Entitlement to DLA, PIP, CDP, ADP,
AFIP or WPMS when you change your vehicle, you will not be able to apply for free vehicle tax.

I guess you’d have to contact the dept who pays the WPMS
