I have just got a new car with no tax "help"?
Answers:
Form from post-office, attach old disc and return.
They only refund FULL months and the last time I did it it took weeks to get money back (ten times slower than you are supposed to pay for it, isn't that strange).
You'll have to tax your new one NOW (can do this on-line now). But DVLA will not refund you anything like as quick (it's called: having you by the 'short and curlies').
Don't register your new car in your name,And then you will be able to park on double yellow lines and you will be able to drive through speed cameras as fast as you like..no more pay and display for you sonny.And you will be able to park in them stupid car parks that say "2 hours max" all day just to p+ss them off .
it can take 2 or 3 months to get money back from the government :(
go to your local post office, pick a the tax reclaim form, fill it in and send it to DVLA with your tax disc. They will send you a cheque back in about 3 weeks.
Depends on what has happened to your old car, if it was stolen or written off in an accident then if you got more than a full month on it they will refund on a monthly basis. How long will it take, we're talking about a refund from a govement body, just be grateful that you get. (when you do finally get it)
you have to get a form from the post office and send it to the dvla they'll only refund full months so make sure you get it in before the end of a month. it aint quick i'm afraid it took about a month when i did it ages ago. it may be different now like.
you can get a claim form from the post office and it takes weeks to come back.

Usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for refund to get to you. Details on applying for a refund see link below..
Takes upto 4 weeks to get the money back , BE AWARE THAT IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING IT THE POLICE NOW TAKE THEM OFF YOU AND CRUSH THEM ! You are given the option to get it taxed then pay an £80 penalty but if you do not take up this offer they will dispose of it ! I had a 02 mondeo taken from me whilst on holiday (it was taxed befor i went and parked on the road ) however the tax expired while i was away ( i knew this but though it would be ok for 14 day`s grace )and when i returned it had gone there is no such thing as 14 day grace anymore / i missed the deadline to get my car back by 3 days and they crushed it ! Declare sorn onto it now and do not park it on the roadside .
send off with form fro post office. do by recorded delivery to 1. ensure it reaches them b4 end of month (refund is full months only from date they recieve old disc) and 2. if it gets lost in post you can claim from post office. usually takes about 2 weeks from date they receive it. ensure you fill form in correctly in BLACK ink. and take copy (scan tax disc and filled in form into computer) I always take colour scan of everything I send. (send to online email yahoo etc and send back to yourself so you have dated proof)
ben
go to the tax office thing where ever it is by you and explain to them and then itll be sorted!!
send the old tax disk to dvla they will then refund the tax you need to go to the post office for a road tax refund i think you can hand both over the counter if not post it.
it takes approimatly 3 to 4 weeks for the refund.
you cannot drive your car without road tax if you do then thepolice will know by your number plate and also not having it showing on your screen so while your there get your new car taxed.
get a form from the post office, stick the tax disc to it and post to DVLA then wait for ages
sent it back with the correct form from the post office it takes about 3 weeks
