Tax your EV now to save £195

[Skd884]

Those with an EV where the VED is up for renewal after April 1st... Tax your car again now to change the date. I've just brought mine forward by 2 months but it'll get me another 10 months at £0. Had I waited until April, I'd have had to pay £195...

I didn't want to risk waiting until March to do it, just in case it applied it from my current end date. By doing it now, it's taken effect immediately.

Did you have to SORN it first?

No.

It's about time RFL was applied to non ICE vehicles. They use the road infrastructure so it is fair they bear some of the costs.

No.

Thanks Slim. I should do the same.

Fortunately mine is registered just a few months prior to the April 2017 cut off so would only change to £20 PA. I could still re-tax it for 12 months to save a few pennies though

I pay enough VED as it is so see this as a small win!

Renewing it in March is better. It will still start on March 1st 2025. So you'll only pay, your 1st road tax on March 1st 2026

Great news, if you lease a EV from a lazy ar£e Company who hold the log book. Awaiting the bill for the tax and the obligatory admin charge for them to pay it "for me"

Tossers........

No.

I think you might....out of interest I just tried to tax my already taxed car....it would not let me unless I was a new owner. So I guess you need to sorn it first and then retax it.

Apparently, so I've been told. You don't, need to Sorn it first. You don't even need your Tax reminder. Just your Log book. I'm gonna do it next month, so I hope they are right, we'll see.
