Monthly Car Tax Cancellation

[TomsFocus]

Hi all,

I SORN'd the car online on 30th September, but the next DD payment was still taken on October 3rd (1st was a weekend).  Will that automatically be returned to my bank?  Can't afford to lose £20 atm which is why I SORN'd it when I did.

Hi Tom

Yes it would be refunded. I SORN'd my fiesta in march and got a refund. Just be aware of dates.

Was your Fiesta on monthly DD though, Joss?

I know it gets refunded from 6 month/yearly tax but I thought the DD would've just immediately been cancelled?  This is the first time I've used the monthly one...

Yes Tom it was via DD There was a delay on their part as it was beta.

Ah that's good then, cheers!

In case it doesn't get automatically refunded, just do an indemnity claim for the payment by calling your bank.

Usually takes about 2 weeks to go into your bank account.
