SORN when RFL not expired
Discussion
Tomorrow I will un-SORN my Elise for a summer of pleasure, if I tax it for 12 months it can still be used in November which can be a good month but come the end of November can I go on line and SORN it and get a full refund of 5 months.
Has anyone actually done it, when I tried with another taxed car, just as a test, there seemed to be no route.

"You automatically get a vehicle tax refund for any full months remaining when you tell DVLA that your car, motorbike, lorry, bus or other vehicle has been:
....taken off the road and you’ve made a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification)"

The subject line you've given makes me think you don't really understand the relationship between SORN and tax. They're not separate. They're two of the three possible answers to "What's this car's tax status?""It's taxed."
"It's SORNed."
"It's unlicenced."
SORNing a car changes it from being taxed to being SORNed, and generates a refund for unused months.
It's only seventeen years since SORN was introduced - and it's only been changed once in all that time (to no longer expire and need renewing after 12 months)...
