I taxed my car in mid Jan 2017 and cancelled it a week ago.

The annual tax paid was £150 and my refund is £54.16.

Is this right?

I calculate that I'm owed 5 months refund as Jan and July count as whole months. So it's 62.50. curious as to how they calculate refunds?? Am I missing something?

5 months remaining at £12.50 per month. £62.50 refund.

Are you sure you have dates right?

Sure the tax wasn't £130?

Your refund is 5/12 of £130 - is your car a band E (131-140g/km)?
