answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2016 answer text <p>Prior to October 2014 motorists could apply for a refund or transfer the vehicle licence to the new keeper of the vehicle. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not hold information about how many keepers chose not to claim a refund. Since vehicle excise duty was made non-transferable in October 2014, vehicle keepers no longer have to apply for a refund. This is issued automatically when the DVLA is notified of the sale of a vehicle.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 01/02/2016 15:24:57 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
