answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2016 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not hold information in this way.</p><p> </p><p>Since 1 October 2014, vehicle excise duty (VED) automatically ends when the DVLA receives notification that a vehicle has been sold to a new keeper or the motor trade. VED also ends when DVLA is notified that a Statutory Off Road Notification has been made or a vehicle has been stolen, exported or scrapped. When the DVLA record is updated with one of these qualifying events, a refund is usually generated automatically to the registered keeper. This can take longer in a small number of cases where further enquiries by the DVLA are necessary or the vehicle keeper is asked to provide additional information.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 14/09/2016 14:54:04 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
