Car Tax Refund

[Daddy]

is there ever a time when a partial refund of this can be claimed.

e.g accident - car is a write off.

Taxed for 12 months.

9 months remained prior to accident.

If not reclaimable and you are claiming off other driver's insurance can this loss of 9 months car tax be added into the claim.

If the car is to be scrapped, then I believe you can claim paid but unused road tax.

Note however that scrapping the car, and the car being a write-off are not necessarily the same thing. A car can be a financial write off in that it is not worth it for the insurance company to pay the bill quoted for the repair as it exceeds the value of the car. However, a car written off in such a way could still make it back onto the road because Joe mechanic might buy the scrap and put it back on the road on the cheap. In the latter circumstance, I expect you would not be able to reclaim unused road tax.

The form is a rf120- do you still have the old tax disc

Thanks - yes I have the old tax disc and will get the form.

The car is a write off in an accident and has been sold for scrap.
