I had to scrap my car after it was written off so at the end of january sent the tax disc by recorded delivery for a refund and am still waiting for the cheque. I have emailed and rung and was told it was ue to be processed about a month ago. Wish they were as slow when you need to tax your motor.:j

    I think it was about 6 weeks between sending off the form and getting the cheque in the post

    Well on the form you sent off (you do have a copy of what you sent don't you?) it says to allow 30 working days, then to phone the number on the back of the form.

    Why not use google?
    A google search for 'car tax refund' will help you.
