can i swap the tax from my fiesta, to my jetta?
this is what the dvla say
When to exchange
Exchange your tax disc if you change the:
tax class (this does not apply for tax classes where no vehicle tax is payable)
engine size (cylinder capacity)
type of fuel used
weight of a goods vehicle
number of seats on a bus
the use of a vehicle you have just bought
If the fuel type or engine size has changed
For changes to the fuel type or engine size (cylinder capacity), which needs a lower rate of vehicle tax to be paid, you must provide documentary evidence of the change. This can be the receipt for the new engine, written evidence from the manufacturer, insurance company or garage that carried out the change.
How to exchange your tax disc
Exchange your tax disc in person or by post at your nearest Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) local office.
For private or light goods vehicles
Take or send:
form V70 ‘Exchange of Vehicle Licence Application Form’
current tax disc
Registration Certificate with any changes marked on it
completed V62 ‘Application for a Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C)’ if the Registration Certificate is not available
valid insurance certificate
valid MOT test certificate if needed
extra payment for vehicle tax if needed (please see ‘extra payment of vehicle tax’ below)
written evidence of changes for a decrease in engine size or change of fuel
so if i go to the post office, with my tax disc, registration cert for jetta, mot for jetta and insurance cert, they will be able to swap the details over, and the jetta be then taxed?

No is the simple answer, you can't swap tax between car's. You need to apply for a refund, wait for up to 4 weeks for the cheque to be returned then buy a new disk for the second car.

according to what the dvla have written, you can.
exchange when you have changed use f a vehicle you have just bought, take in your reg doc, ins cert and mot, with old tax discs and they will do it

To me that says if you are changing something like engine etc, not a whole car.
