ved tax refund

[rossonza]

Im selling the motorbike tonight, im wanting to get a refund on my remaining tax.

the only issue is, I cant find a way to do it at all. am i being blind? or have they made it a ball ache.


Cheers

It's automatic.

As above... as soon as you send the log book off to Swansea, a refund is triggered.

Is the same true if the car/bike is taxed and you apply to SORN it?

I assume it would make sense for it to work like that?

First time I've ever been even mildy impressed by the DVLA.

Send off log book, wait two weeks, cheque arrived.

So yep, don't worry, it's automatic.

[rossonza]

that's brilliant. thanks for the rapid replies!


Cheers
Ross.

It's 2015, but they send you a cheque?

Seems like a good way of making sure the correct person gets the money.

Given that they sell pretty much anything they can get hold of, the last thing i want to do is give the DVLA my bank details.

Probably the safest way of guaranteeing the refund goes back to the registered keeper.

Anyone know if I'd need to cancel any direct debit that's in place to ensure no further payments or will they do that?

Credited to the debit card I used to pay for it.

Bank transfer

Just like they should have a way to take calls and discuss circumstances. Instead they require you to send a letter, which is then opened by a team that does checks and writes a letter back to me. Why they can't simply put my call through to the team that does the checks is beyond me. I did raise this with them and they had no idea where I was coming from

Odd bunch.

[Torquey]

I had a direct debit set up so they sent the money straight to my account. No cheque.

How do they know what bank account you want it transferring to?
How do they know you still have the same card, or that that card is the one you want it refunding to?

But one thing's for sure - the name and address on the V5C will _always_ be the correct ones for sending the warrant (it's not a cheque) to. Because, after all, it's an offence to have anything but a valid name and address on a V5C, isn't it?
