SORN -Do i get my money back?

MilesnMiles · Post by **MilesnMiles** » Fri Oct 26, 07 11:29 am

I want to declare my vehicle SORN for Winter. I can do this via the DVLA website, but cannot find any reference to getting my money back for returning the current valid tax disc.
Can anyone confirm that i can still get my money back from DVLA as was past policy?

You can still get the form from the PO,you have to have that to stick your disc on.

There is also a cut off for the number of months left to run. I think the disc has to have something like lore than 6 months left. Also, you only get a flat rate per month left. It used to be £8 per month. So, Shell out £183 for the tax, Bananarama! in with 10 months left to run, and get £80 back. It aint worth it mate, but I reckon you have already done it.

Not done it yet Clive, but the DVLA are taking the proverbial as ever. Looks like, fix car and use through the winter as in previous years

Seems to be a one way street with them , can't see why you can't get refunded for the remaining months left on it.

you need a V14 form- can get from any decent post office, post it off get most of your money back a couple of weeks later- no problem, then declare sorn, you will need to post it asap or you will lose another months refund

Small point but after sorning if that's a word I could not re-tax at the PO so had to go to the DVLA district office at Elstree up to 4 hour wait

Andy , was six weeks late when taxing the van last week , the guy @ the post office said i gotta go to Borhamwood , as they can't backdate the tax.

If i hadn't of got the speeding ticket 4 weeks ago , would of said it was not used for a month , on me hoidays.

Ps , hows the BR&L?

hi adam
big red- what started out as just a box rebuild has got me all excited & im getting a bit carried away ie strange shafts, & next week axle off, probably engine out & rebuild front end & tidy up underneath

So, all in all, probably not worth the bother. Thanks for the info all.

as far as i know dvla still refund all whole months, even if only one month left. i've even sent back tax discs a couple of days late and they've still sent the money (takes them a few weeks for some unexplained reason)
