Just do it by the month like most bikers/ classic car owners do. Tax and SORN from your phone!

It is £265 a year, unless your vehicle was built before 1st April 1979.
Sorry if this last point it stupid - I don't know when wedges were first made.

Hi Colin, are you coming to Burghley this Sunday? We are meeting Tesco Meir Park, leaving at 8.30am

I am travelling down a little earlier because I am in the Timeline (about 7.30 from home)

Jase.

Eh?

I presume you mean a 1/12 of a year. If I drive it for a month having taxed it for a month, that isn't a 'loading.' Unless you're referring to having a pre April 1979 car of course where it is now free.. smile

The 5% is the extra you pay in VED for the privilege of buying either 6 months tax (it was 10% in the old days of paper discs, and many seemed not to notice!) or paying by d/d.

Whichever vehicle I have SORN I often drive into the road to turn round before parking off road again. Naughty me.. bandit

When the new rates were announced in the budget, every website I went failed to mention pre 2001 cars or just stated the old rate. I thought for a moment maybe they'd frozen it at £255 !!

Silly me, why would they? It was just that they hadn't bothered to mention it, the focus being on 2001 - 17 and post 2017 cars. It wasn't until about Feb 2019 that it was mentioned as being up £10 from last year for cars over 1549cc. frown

If you buy 12 months and then SORN at the end you get your money back with no loading at all.

You can send the SORN in on the last day of a month and they take it from the declared date you you can use every last day.

I know. That's what I do. I was explaining the loading.
