Car Tax saver

I realise this may not be the correct thread but given it is a grab it now i.e requires immediate action tommorrow to benefit perhaps it is !

In the recent budget the Car tax on entry level Co2 banded vehicles band B was reduced from £78 to £40 a year this includes Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 & Toyota Aygo that I know of others are listed here:

If you purchased a car from a dealer prior to the budget it will have a Road Tax fund Licence of £78 this can be surrendered preferable tommorow as refunds are only per calender month and in my case I get back £39 in the post in a few weeks, I can at the same time re tax the car for £40 a year at the new rate.

The forms you need can be downloaded here:

See you in the cue at the post office Big Thanks to Gordon Brown

Pretty sure they'll tell you to pay the extra.
They made my mate pay it, weren't interested in the form either. They just scanned it and said nope, its this much.

Good luck though!

I don't understand this thread (sorry, yes I am blonde.)

I bought my car tax in February, for £75. I understand that my tax is now £40 (Mark 6 Smart )

Are you saying I should apply for a refund on my existing tax and apply all over again, tomorrow?

paulstevens

That's Gordon Brown and Labour for you. TAX TAX TAX.

(PS I may be blonde but I'm pretty sure that if you surrender yr car tax - even at the end of a month - they take quite a hefty chunk as 'administration fees'. Is it really worth it? )

zeberdy

Actually they dont charge an admin fee for this although they used too ! so you get a refund of £6.50 / month still valid on current tax disc. see below from

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/Changes_to_cost_of_vehicle_tax.htm

3) 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.
