How long does a SORN take to process?

I intend to SORN my car from the beginning of December. How late can I leave the declaration in order to receive a refund from 1 December?

Technically speaking your SORN should start 'immediately' according to the DVLA. To be on the safe side we would leave one working day for processing delays, perhaps SORN the car on 29 November.

I declared my car SORN during Covid as I was working from home. Its MoT also ran. Now, I want to tax it and do an MoT. But I can't tax it without an MoT, how can I get an MoT done?
Do I need to tax and MoT my car I am not using due to ill health?
Can the DVLA legally clamp an untaxed and SORN-less car parked on private land?
