Additional rate tax ending date

[Explorer]

My VED is due to be paid again on 1st April. However the tax checker says the additional rate VED is applicable until 1st May 2025.

Does this mean that if I SORN the vehicle for a month (which I can do easily as it is garaged) - then I could renew after 1st May at the reduced rate?

Or will DVLA pro-rata the amount?

Not quite sure how it all works.
Thanks

Worth a try. What have you got to lose if you are not using the vehicle.

Yeah - it's just so unclear

just found a post on MSE suggesting that DVLA will now automatically account for the change - so I should only get 1 month at additional rate and 11 at standard. Will keep an eye out for my reminder - it will be easy to spot the reduction !

If you pay monthly by direct debit it automatically changes the direct debit after the appropriate date.
