DDVZA issued a new advisory Tuesday referencing a January 2021 vehicle tax notification. This advisory emphasizes that vehicle owners are entitled to a refund if their vehicles are kept on the road for an entire month, as it falls under the “Statutory Off Road Notification” or SORN system.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has issued a fresh alert to motorists, reminding them that they could potentially claim back months’ worth of vehicle tax. DVLA is responsible for issuing vehicle licencess and enforcing vehicle tax rules, among other things. Most vehicle owners are required to pay taxes throughout the year, and the amounts due have increased in January this year.
However, if the owner is taking their vehicle off the road for a period of time, they will still need to notify DVLA beforehand by providing a SORN. The SORN process involves filling out a form and uploading the necessary informatio尼斯. You’ll receive a refund for every full month of remaining tax that remains unpaid. Source: DVLA website.
It’s important to note that after paying off the motor vehicle’s tax, the vehicle must be returned to its original place of service. Once the tax is paid off, you can no longer use the vehicle on the road. The vehicle will need to be SORNed for the next month once its tax is due. The link for the SORN system has been updated to reflect this.
Identifiers for SORN are based on the month of the vehicle’s original tax due date. If you already paid off the tax on a specific month, SORNs are issued for the following month. If your vehicle’s tax is due during, SORNs are issued after that.
If your vehicle has been SORNed, it must be kept on the vehicle’s original premises indefinitely. You must not drive the vehicle on the road during the SORN period. You should also understand that the SORN process requires ated jurisdiction for drivers to provide all necessary documents.
