Road tax discrepency


I've just received my V11 road tax reminder. Cost quoted is
£79.75 for 6 months or £145 for a year.

I thought I'd sort it out online. When you get to the figures there, they're asking for £82.50 and £150 respectively. It looks like its costing a fiver to save them time and money, another £2.50 if you use a credit card.

I'm off to the post office to sort it out the old way.

Mistake or not, it'll still cost you if your not careful.

    The budget has something to do with it... So you'll find it too is £82.50/150 at the PO.

    Which should be cleared printed on the renewal form (V11) - normally on the top in red writing.

    There is a £2.50 charge for using credit card online/phone.
