When any motor vehicle in respect of which tax has been paid is altered, used or proposed to be used, in such a manner as to cause the vehicle to become a vehicle in respect of which a higher rate of tax is payable, the registered owner or the person having possession of control of such vehicle shall pay an additional tax of sum equal to the difference between the tax already paid and the tax which is payable in respect of such vehicle for the period for which the higher rate of tax is payable in consequence of its being so altered or used or proposed to be used, and the licensing officer shall not grant a fresh tax licence in respect of such vehicle so altered or used or proposed to be used until such amount of tax has been paid.
