can you get a road tax refund on old car when you part x it with dealer??
« on: 13 December 2009, 18:00 »
Hi all

to all of you who have part x'd your old car at a dealer - did you keep your old tax disc (as long as it had more than a month untill expiry), as i was wondering whether I could get some money back for it?! I dont see why the dealer should take the benefit, as the deal is for the car + mot'd.

what do you lot think??

Cheers

They'll want the tax as it's one less thing to fork out for when they sell your old car on.

Yeah thats what i thought! they make enough money from us all! I am collecting my new car tomorrow and I am going to tell him that I have filled a form to send it off, so tough luck. (i will really just take it out when I arrive at dealer and put it in my pocket!  :tongue: )

You don't even need to say. Just take it put as soon as u arrive. I've always done that and never been asked for it!

I scrapped my last car, got £70 for it, and they told me I wasn't allowed to remove the tax disc, which was worth £80!

If you're part ex'ing at a main dealer then just take the old disc out, some will even give you the tax refund form for DVLA.

Cheers for the info. Yeah i will just take it out when i arrive at dealer.

I have now found the V14 form that you need for this. The one thing i didnt understand is whether you need to be the registered owner of the vehicle to get the refund, but this would be impossible, as you need the road tax up until that point of time!

Can someone confirm if the following steps should be fine:

1) Take road tax disc out when i get to dealer
2) Declare the car is being transferred to dealer (they fill in sec.9 of reg certificate and send to DVLA and they retain the rest of the certificate)
3) I can then immediately fill in the V14 form and send a claim for a refund for the remainder of full months?

Thanks

Yeah, that sounds about right.
Not so long ago anybody could just go into a Post Office and cash in a tax disc, but now you have to prove you're entitled to it and send it off to DVLA. Which is a good thing IMO
