Hi folks, likely this question has been asked on here before but here goes. My car was wrote off recently and the other party have accepted responsibility and agreed to pay, I had 9 months tax left on my car . Can this be carried over to the new car or even a rebate received if I was to cancel in some way.

Yes you can get a refund, I'm pretty sure the info in the link below is still accurate.

Thanks it seems once the car is scrapped a refund can be sought.

Exactly, get on to them as soon as you can.
The refund is calculated from the first day of the month after the disc is surrendered. You'll probably get from the 1st of Feb onwards refunded.

Are you sure the vehivle is being scrapped?. If the write-off is a Cat C or Cat D, the vehicle can go back on the road and the tax stays with it
