Just SORN my car

The Dvla site says that if you buy part way thro the first year the normal rates (£295 for the 35is)

The dealers invoice calls the £650 showroom tax while the BMW calls it first year VED

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

So you will get back 10/12 of £295
I've just received the Dvla cheque, £270 - 41p
No explanation how the amount was calculated of course!

I hope in March the standard one year rate applies.

I can't work it out - There must be an element of ved and an element of buying a dirty polluting car but I can't see how that amount has been calculated.

First year punishment was £650
Normal / year rate £295
Showroom tax £355
The car was used for two months

If anybody has any ideas i will be pleased to hear them.
