you can get a form for this from your local post office, fill it in, afix the tax disc and they'll send you a cheque - did this when the Astra was scrapped about 18 months ago.

Get a form from the Post Office, send it to DVLA with the VED disk and they'll refund for each complete month left.

If you leave the country with it,you can't reclaim until it is registered in another country-however,if someone else is exporting it,no problem.
