Enhanced mobility changing tax class of vehicle

Cartini

Hi,

I`ve done a quick search on here, but can`t find any thread that fully answers my question.

I have a fully taxed car and the tax doesn`t run out until the end of the year.  I`m now exempt VED (Road Tax) which means I need to change the tax class of the car.

It was my understanding (and still is, until advised otherwise) that to change the tax class of a vehicle (to pay no VED / Road Tax) I have to take my logbook and certificate of entitlement to the Post Office for them to start the process.

This I did, but I was told by a member of Post Office staff that I have to post my logbook to DVLA (and a copy of the certificate) for them to make the changes.

Am I correct in my understanding that the Post Office should have taken my logbook & certificate or was the Post Office worker correct?

The office are incorrect here and you are correct. You only send documents off if you're entitled to 50% reduction. As you're entitled to free tax then it must be done at a post office that deals with road tax. They will then send your documents off. Once DVLA receive them your V5 will be changed to disabled class.
