If you request a refund of the licence duty you will be required to provide full details of the reason for the refund and you must give full details to DVLNI about the new owner. A SORN declaration must be made if you are the registered keeper and you have not sold the vehicle and you are keeping the vehicle off the road.Where To Claim A Refund

If you have lost your licence disc you will have to apply for a duplicate tax disc on form V35(NI), £7.00 fee and enclose V90(NI) for the refund. Alternatively you can complete form V90(NI) only. There is a section on the form, which allows DVLNI to deduct the £7 fee from your refund. The refund will be paid from the date we receive the application. If your vehicle has been stolen you will need to obtain a letter from the PSNI and send it to DVLNI with form V90(NI). There is a 10% handling charge on the cost of a 6 month licence but this is not included in any refund.
