You just send in your tax & they issue a new disk with the new V5....if thats what you mean. When your tax is due is not relivant you only must have some!!

Yeah they just give you a new printed tax disk with the remainder of the time on it & a brown envelope to send your old one in.

Think it depends on the doovla office, my wife took hers to Nottingham and they gave her an envelope to post the old disk back, when I did mine at Birmingham, they just told me to bin it once I put the new one in...
Perhaps they just didn't trust her
