Does anyone know if I take out 6 months road tax whether I can return it and claim back say 5 months. You know like when you sell a vehicle but keep the tax to send back

Going to try this as my bike will not be going back on the road and it has tax remaining. Will let you know how I get on.

When to apply for a refund

You need to post your refund application before the first day of the month that you are claiming the refund. You also need to tell DVLA why you are applying for a refund. This may be because the vehicle has been:

sold
transferred
scrapped
exported
stolen
retaxed in a nil value tax class - like the disabled tax class
taken off the road - SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) in place with DVLA

That is what I thought and how I read it as long as you sorn it and send the tax back you should get a refund
