Hi,
You may recall that in the budget that nice Mr Brown reduced the tax rates for some vehicles based on Co2 emissions from March 2006. With his usual slight of hand the fact that winners can retax their cars at the new rate and claim a refund on their existing tax disc seems to have been kept quiet!

) My tax rate has been reduced because of the Budget. Can I apply for a new disc at the reduced rate and then claim a refund on my current disc. How long will it take?
Yes. There is nothing to stop you applying for a refund on your current disc and relicensing at the new reduced rate from March 23rd. You can get a refund for each full calendar month still to run on the licence disc at the time you apply. If you require a refund on your current disc please use application form V14. V14’s are available for download from the forms page or from any Post Office® branch that issue tax discs and DVLA Local Offices. Your refund should be sent to you within 3 – 6 weeks. For further information on refunds can be found here.
Given that my other half has a dual fuel vehicle the money is far better off in my pocket than Gordon's.
