Road Tax Charge (UK)

There is no requirement to give a reason, let alone a "specific reason", when renewing VED.

There is neither any reason to tell the truth, nor to tell lies. The system permits it, and the rules don't prohibit it.

If you renew every month that will be fine for obvious reasons.

My i3 runs out 1 May - I will be renewing on the 1 March before the new rate starts in April . You are allowed to renew 2 months early if providing a letter explaining this. For example, I will be submitting a letter to the DVLA explaining that I am away for work and will not be a round to renew on it's appointed date and will be providing proof of this. Any earlier is not allowed.

If you apply to renew more than 2 months earlier than your current expiry date, you will be questioned and/or denied unless you have, how did I put it? A "specific reason".

That's not the case on line. I "renew" every month - for twelve months! I don't need to provide any false information. It flags up that I still have ten/eleven months left but I can still get a fresh 12 months worth without any problem at all. You may need special dispensation if you want to renew early without losing any payment made for the previous year but as a BEV costs nothing that's obviously not an issue in this case.
