I wonder if that was for people who had their VED renewal due 1st April 2025 anyway? Maybe the DVLA system detects that and so assumes you want to renew it starting April 1st yet it still gives you the FOC price as you are buying it before the price increases. I bet if those same folk use the...

Isn’t it 11 months, not 12?

There is no need for anybody to use sorn, that’s a myth rumour with no founding whatsoever. Everyone can renew their VED within this month online using reg number and V5C number. No sorning needed. Surely everyone has done it by now anyway?

I think you are overthinking it all @Martinonline AFAIK, the price you pay, is that which is in force on the day you renew it (not the day the VED actually starts from) So nobody will pay the new April 1st rates unless they are actually applying for it on or after April 1st. You got the...

Nah, I couldn’t do that. Mind you, if I knew the shower gel was going up next week, I certainly might buy 2 years supply now!! Ha, if we could do that with our VED, we could “buy” 10 years supply at today’s (FOC) price! I mean why ever not? 🤔. Peter

I don’t even see it as a loophole really. I mean if you buy a years supply of shower gel, which goes up in price say next week. You don’t expect to pay the new increased price each time you shower with it. You only expect to pay the price that it was at, on the very day when you bought it. 😎...

That’s true, but doing so would also avoid 2026 likely new rate rises that will likely apply from April 1st? And subsequent years too. So it might be better to retax it for March 1st perhaps? Peter

Checked mine and the VED enquiry site hasn’t updated yet. I got the email though and that confirms it. I’ll check it again later or tomorrow. I’m sure it will be fine in due course. Peter.

That’s very odd! I certainly did on 2 process pages……

Yup. Ditto. All done, quick and easy. Mine was due September 2025, is now March 2026 😎👍😀 I expect we will see shedloads of meetoo messages this month. After that, this thread will presumably finally die off into cyberspace. Peter

I bet it’s gone up again by April 2026 though!

As alluded to earlier today, there’s nothing to stop you renewing it again next week AFAIK.

No matter if it did, we have the entire month of March in which to calmly renew it 😉 Peter

Ist February! If waited just another 5 days it would be until 1st March. That’s what I’m doing. I deffo won’t forget. Peter

Unless maybe you can do it now but set it to start March 1st??
