Up-rating weight and tax refund

[Miggs]

About to buy another van which is rated 3500kg, which I intend to up-rate more or less straight away.
I obviously have to tax it at £265 rate to collect it but how do I go about getting a refund for the £165 rate?
Is it done automatically?

DVLA send you a cheque when they change the Class

As above... automatic as soon as they change it..

Thanks both

I sold a vehicle 5 weeks ago. Notified change of owner. Still waiting for tax to be refunded. Web site says to wait 8 weeks before querying it.
They must be sitting on an absolute fortune of other people's money
