Road tax

[MORELLO]

We've just bought a small car for my wife who's due to take her test. Until then it's going to be garaged. Is it possible to redeem/cash in the six months road tax as part of completing a SORN whilst it's off road?

You need to act quickly so that you can get the August refund.  This is from the DVLA website:

You should return your tax disc with a completed form V14 available from a Post Office or DVLA Local Office. If your tax disc has been lost/ stolen you can complete form V33 which is available from your nearest DVLA Local Office. The application should be sent to Refunds Section DVLA Swansea, SA99 1AL. Refund applications must be in the post by the last day of the month to receive a refund for that particular month - only full months remaining will be refunded. Your refund should be issued in 3 weeks, but in certain circumstances you will need to allow up to 6 weeks.
