Guide
to applying for a tax class change and a NIL value road tax disc
for a car built in 1973
Postal
record of your application
As your tax class change and NIL value disc
application will contain important documents - V5C, MOT and insurance certificates
and a Heritage certificate - we strongly advise using a Royal Mail recorded delivery
service or even a registered post option to be certain you have evidence of your
posting those documents to DVLA. It will also be prudent to take good quality
photocopies of each document so you can retain them.

See members' feedback on how the applications
at Post Offices and to DVLA have gone. As many postings have been made please
note you will need to go beyond the first page of postings. V8BB

| Since
the Budget in March 2013 we have known a car built in 1973 would become road tax
exempt from 1st April 2014. Now
we have seen from fellow members reports how their VED exemption applications
have been handled, we are now able to update our guide on the tax exemption application
process. See our updated
guide note on applying to change the tax class to "Historic Vehicle"
and for a NIL value tax disc and our flowchart which sets out how to find
your way through the process.

Important
point
For an eligible car the tax disc is free but the important point
to note is that you will need to start the process because unless you take action
to apply for "Historic"status, an application for a road tax disc will
not automatically result in your receiving a free disc. So
you have to apply for a tax class change to "Historic Vehicle" and then
for a NIL value tax disc.
