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?
i think it appears that way id ring them first to make sure father
it sounds like it, unless im being thick

and ive heard of other people swapping tax onto dif cars
You can cash it in cant you?? Then use the money to put towards taxing the other car. Think they give you money back for each full month left on it.
yea they do, but takes ages for them to return the chq
DVLA have had my tax disc off the red Puma for 4 weeks now, and still not had anything back. It takes ages..........
