As said above, you get the refund from the date you send it, not the date they receive it. I sent mine off on 28th march, got the refund for april.0

Although I had a tax disc floating around here the other day I can't find it now to check. As above, though, get proof of posting. Last day of May is a Saturday, so you probably want to do it on the Friday to make sure.
Do you mean on the back of the form? I've never seen anything written on the back of the disc.0 -

Because it was still in the windscreen until we got off the ferry from Spain... The car's still (presumably) in the Gambia, though.JustAnotherSaver wrote: »Just out of curiosity, amongst your clothes, toiletries, camera, perhaps phone etc etc, why on earth did you pack your car tax?0 -
That may be how it's meant to work but I've often had lost a months refund. I have challenged them before and got the extra month refunded but to save the hassle I'd do it earlier if possible.DMP Mutual Support Thread Member No 19017/05/08 - Total on DMP: £10025.7007/05/14 - Total on DMP: £1666.20 DFD: July 2017!!Baby Tomos born 5th June 2009 - 6lb 5oz :jWeight Loss Target - to lose 60.8lb by NYE 2015 - 37.6lb TO GO0

No, the back of the disc itself. Funnily enough when I wrote that, I looked on the form to see if it was mentioned there as I couldn't find a disc. Found one from 1987 that reads:
"REFUND OF DUTY
This license may be surrendered at any time for a refund of duty for each complete month left to run. A month will only count for refund if the license is handed in on put in the post on or before the last day of the preceding month.
To claim a refund send your application and the license to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre, SWANSEA SA99 1AL or hand them in at any Local Vehicle Licensing Office. Refudn application forms (V14) may be obtained from any Local Vehicle Licensing Office or main post offices."
I have an idea newer discs have less text on them.0 -
And will cease to exist after October.0
