DVLA
progress with a VED exempt tax class change application!
Posted: 140328
|  | After
my first application on 21st February 2014 to DVLA for a tax class change and
NIL value tax disc for my MGBGTV8 built in 1973 simply "bounced" so
the whole application came back to me with a confused response from DVLA , I had
sent in a second application on 18th March 2014 stating again very clearly it
was an application to apply from 1st April 2014. Today I have had a reply
from DVLA (undated and unsigned) which includes a better understanding of theVED
exemption extension measures announced in the support document issued by HM Treasury
shortly after the Chancellor's statement in March 2013 and it ends with
the welcome statement - "therefore we are holding on
to your application until 1st April 2014 when we will be able to process your
application and you should receive your disc." | Quite
why this sensible procedure could not have been adopted for my first application
remains a mystery but possibly the confusion expressed in the DVLA reply then
may have been a contributary factor. We will never know but the result is it has
cost me an additional £6.95 of registered postage charges sending the valuable
documents attached my application to DVLA a second and wholly unnecessary time.
You can see the two replies from DVLA here.
How
have other members' DVLA applications gone for a tax class change and NIL value
tax disc for a car eligible for the exemption from 1st April 2014? | | V8
