    You can download the form V14 from the DVLA website, fill it in and stick the tax disc to it and send it off. All the instructions are with the form. You can only reclaim full months so you need to get the form posted by the 30th November to get a refund of December to February.

    You only get a refund for the compete months left on the disc.

    To get a refund for December it has got to be with them on 30 Nov at the latest. (Or postmarked 30 Nov if sending it through the mail.)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
