Sorn TAX Sorn Tax?

[the1andonly]

Using the direct debit method of paying for tax VED can you simply Sorn it and they stop taking your money, or do you have to cancel the direct debit? how close to the wire can you get?
What is procedure when starting again (same as first time ?) put all details in again?

 

[Janine]

Your monthly direct debit is suspended. (If the payment goes out at the beginning of the month, when you Sorn it, it may still be taken but is refunded about a week later).

Re-tax it using the number from your V5.

Yes just SORN it and I leave the DD alone. If DVLA have arranged to make the collection already (I normally SORN around last day or so of the month), the charge goes through but is automatically refunded a few days later.

You have to leave it for 5 days I think before being able to tax it online again. If you need to tax it sooner than that, you need to do it over the counter at the Post Office

I sorned end of November, payment still taken on the 1st Dec but the email did say if this happens it would be returned within 10 days and it was
Re taxed 2nd April online with the DD option. Very easy. Had to re-enter bank details and says this month's will be taken around the 20th and from then on the 1st of each month.

A quick warning, the Gov.uk RFL renewal site has re-introduced the £2.50 charge if you use a Credit Card (Outlawed by the EU) . Debit cards are not charged extra.

Not according to their website:

I know that if one SORNs a vehicle it should be on UK territory.

If one does it and the vehicle and the Registered Keeper are both outside the UK has one committed a crime in the UK? Especially if one does not claim back the VED?

One would have to Un-SORN it before landing at a UK port.

Maybe one for Chris, as I have not dirtied my hands with UK criminal law.

i dont think road tax is criminal which is why the police dont prosecute but refer you to some one who does misuse of sorn could possibly come under fraud i suppose

I would likely void your insurance though as they generally expect you to follow UK law.
