If it is taxed, it must be insured - Continuous Insurance Enforcement requirement.

As above, SORN it or re-insure it.

If SORN, it must be kept off the road.

And, if you do SORN it, consider getting some laid-up cover in place just in case.

Also, under the 'no tax disc' regime, a SORN declaration automatically generates a refund of VED (complete unused months only).
For once the gov.uk site is giving the correct information - https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund
