Title: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 02, 2018, 05:41:24 AM Had to tax the trike last month after losing my disabled entitlement.
No big deal altho I was a little shocked at the price. Recieved a letter from the DVLA yesterday stating that as it was first registered in 1978 it was now under the historic class of tax I thought this did not apply to modify vehicles. Not complaining just curious. Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: stinkey on August 02, 2018, 05:52:39 AM Does it matter ? Do they know it's modified ? They DO now ? :o enjoy it ;D
Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 02, 2018, 05:58:34 AM They have always known it's modified mate registered as trike in 94.

In short - The free road tax is date related with a couple of caveats. If the vehicle is ‘substantially changed’, this takes away the MoT exemption. http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=16612.0 The FBHVC (Federation of British Historic Vehicles Club) website has Newsletters available to read / download which shine some light the subject. http://www.fbhvc.co.uk/members-pages/newsletter-archive/ Declaring your vehicle as exempt from an MOT Test http://fbhvc.co.uk/legislation-and-fuels/vhi-declarations-and-advisors/ Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 02, 2018, 07:03:01 AM Confuse ;D
Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: Manky Monkey on August 02, 2018, 08:21:53 AM So have you had a full refund?
Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 02, 2018, 08:39:00 AM Will know when I get the bank statement
Checked online and it's taxed for 12 months instead of the 6 that I had applied for. Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: BikerGran on August 02, 2018, 09:07:00 AM DVLA usually send an email when you renew - no email suggests no payment?
Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 02, 2018, 10:16:14 AM I had a letter from them Bobbi telling me I had tried to tax it for 6 months as a trike and that I now have to tax it as a historical vehicle, only payed £40 I think so not that bothered.
Just curious as to why they did that, no complaints from this end tho'. One more year til her 20th Birthday and 20 years on the road. Aiming to keep her going until I cannot ride any more, she still pulls like a train and can now go faster than I can handle. Not sure whats going to happen to her when I'm not able to ride, we'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 05, 2018, 01:34:11 PM Refund turned up yesterday. £48 that will go to our holiday fund,
Just completed a job for the garage that does my car MOT 4 blocks of plastic for the car lift and in exchange I get an MOT. Another £50 saved. Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: Manky Monkey on August 05, 2018, 07:38:27 PM Bargain!
So is that the full cost refunded? Title: Re: Trike tax Post by: TwistedPatience on August 05, 2018, 08:02:37 PM It most certainly is.
