Hi
I am getting a new car (second Hand ) and i need to apply for 50% of vehicle tax, but the old car has got that already and I will cancel that tax, but my statement of entitlement has a stamp on from the DVLA and the registration number of the old car, stating that reduction was applied to the old car.
So how do I change it over, anybody got an idea? Just send in documents and hope?
Thanks

    For the old car you will be able to claim back any full months. With 50% reduction the vehicle isn’t registered as disabled anyway, so it makes no difference.

    You just need to send all your documents to claim the reduction on your new vehicle. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
