Tax and SORN

[vornwend 0]

Here's my problem:

 

I want to SORN the car from October through March but my tax runs from July 31st.

 

Whats the best way of getting these aligned? If I renew my tax for 6 months now then I will potentially waste 4 months of tax :brickwall:

 

Can I get a tax refund if I tax now and SORN in October?

 

Any advice gratefully received

Yep, I believe you get a a full refund on unused road tax[complete months] just have to wait for the cheque to come back. Just double check at the post office to be sure :)

Yep - you can get a refund on tax you haven't used :)

Remember to SORN on 30th September rather than 1st October or you'll lose a month of refund tax.

Thanks - should save a few bob :)

 

Oddly enough I calculate its actually £3.41 cheaper to renew for 12 months then cancel after 2 than renew for 6 months and cancel after 2 :cuckoo:
