Ok I just go to a post office and they will sort everything out?


But I have to wait weeks for my logbook to arrive for my new car then I can go to the post office? Then the buyer of my old car has to wait weeks to receive his/her log book? Or DVLA will send the updated logbook to me 1st then I updated it again with new keeper details meaning more weeks waiting for the buyer?


This is so confusing :huh:


Can someone tell me the correct procedure in stages so it goes smoothly:

You don't need the full V5 to tax the car, the new keepers slip is enough. If you sell your car to a non disabled driver who has to pay for car tax then they can now get the vehicle reclassified as PLG by using the post office with their new keepers portion of the V5

You go online and fill out the required application, a tax disk is sent snail mail in an unmarked envelope in 5 days or so. You also get a DVLA Electronic Vehicle Licensing Confirmation of Tax Disc Application to your email addy. The email has a :

- reference number,
- Vehicle Registration Mark
- and all other details a policeman might want to see

As for your existing disabled tax disk, I assume you already took it out of the vehicle you are selling to avoid being charged with fraud. You should return your old free tax disc on a V14 application form to DVLA, Swansea SA99 1AL. You will also need to fill in the relevant section of your V5C.

If the car you have just bought has more than 2 remaining months tax on it. You can have the value of the remaining tax refunded to you it works in 12/12th's and should be claimed at the earliest opportunity, using even any one single day of any new month will lose you that one 12th of a year.

Or as specialboy said go to the post office !

Ok what about now considering new Oct 2014 road tax rules:


How do I transfer disabled road tax from a old car that I will sell to a new car that I gonna buy?

Yes. The DVLA know.

In fact you do not transfer any more... you cancel old and 'buy' new.

https://www.gov.uk/notifying-dvla-if-you-sell-your-vehicle says when you notify them of the sale you will get a refund of any remaining vehicle tax already paid due to you... (zero in your case as its an exempt vehicle).

Then when you have the new vehicle slip... https://www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vehicles-and-transport says you MUST do it at a Post Office that deals with vehicle tax.... (although a call to the DVLA should confirm that is the only way now... since no tax discs are displayed any more).

I suspect it will be at a PO as they will need to see the exemption entitlement paperwork and DVLA won't have any electronic checking systems available.

You can do it online now through the GOV portal, you will need your DVLA CofE [certificate of exemption number] once you have entered that CofE number that first time the portal will allow you to tax exempt yourself every year thereafter with no problems providing you continue to qualify. It, the portal will already know if the vehicle is insured and tested. Its a totally paperless application system.

You do have to input your number of exemption every year though - well I do anyway. They store MOT and Insurance but not the exemption cert info.
