I have just bought a bike which I taxed but which has some serious problems and therefore is going back to the shop from whence it came. I have my eye on another bike. Can I change my existing tax disc or do I need to apply for a refund for this one and then tax the new bike?

OMG I wasn't asking how to soak off the reg number, you mad people, I just wasn't sure if there was a way of transferring the same tax disc to a new reg number. they already backdate the tax to the beginning of the month and so lost out on two weeks when I got the first bike. I just being stingy basically.

You'll have to apply to the DVLA for a refund on any full months remaining on the current tax disc and get a fresh one on the new bike (unless of course it still has time remaining on its disc.)

Most people seem to think you need to contact the DVLA for a refund but I would be tempted to ask at the post office if you can transfer the disc to your new bike. So long as it is the same taxation class I dont see a problem in them writing out a new disc with your new reg number with the same amount of time remaining as your old one

I presume that you knew about cashing the old one in and were asking for a more "economical" way of doing it.
If you taxed it in a small post office where they write the registration on the disc by hand in ink you could soak the disc in brake fluid which should remove the ink, then write in the registration of your choice. Obviously this doesn't change computerised records but to a passing copper of traffic warden it will look as if its taxed...........

hi you have answered your own question mate. yes you will have to contact DLVA for a refund and tax your new bike separately, you could ask the dealer to do this as a good will gesture given the problems you have had ...just a thought

You will have to call DVLA and arrange a refund on unused time-Then get a New Tax certificate for your new machine.

You will need to apply for a new tax disk, if you modify one issued by the DVLA you will invalidate it and could be liable to prosecution
