... Car tax went up in last weeks budget. Just renewed mine and it was £290. The renewal letter said £285. They kept that quiet didn't they! Before an election as well.

It was on the news it had gone up in line with inflation! SC 4.2, 2012 face lifted, 25K miles, 1 previous owner

I still renewed it at 265 for 6 months (hoping to have the FFRR on its way here before the end of the 6 months)  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I noticed the same Noddy. What date did you actually renew your tax? 2006 4.2 SC

Renewed it yesterday.

I made the same error......leaving 2 of the fleet until the last minute cost me an extra tenner.

If we'd renewed on 31/03 or before it would have been £285....  2006 4.2 SC

Road tax paid on 26 March and it was actually 275 for 6 months and 500 for 12 months. The letter stated 275 and that is what I paid. Must be the date then. Not fair though, the letter should at least mention that after 1 April it would go up to X and not just do it. Governments / tax departments, don't live by the same rules as the general public and business world  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
