DVLA Road Tax Cheaper by Phone
Hi,
I've just paid for my tax reneweal using the DVLA's automated phone line. The form they sent, had I chosen to pay at the Post Office, would've been 6 months at £57.75 or 12 months at £105.00.
You can imagine my delight when I paid over the phone and had the option of 6 months for £55 or 12 months for £100!! So a nice saving of £10 for me!
I couldn't find this mentioned on any of the literature enclosed with the V11 form.
I'm not sure if there's a difference when paying online but it's worth checking first!
Good luck!

Are you sure this isnt as a result of car tax changes in tuesdays budget?
My diesel car(post2001)has been reduced from £115 to £110.

Yes, it will be because it's a band C petrol car - the duty has reduced from £105 pa to £100.
They should also have charged £100 at the PO if you'd paid it there - I know some years back when I taxed a car, it had gone up between getting the notice in the post and going to buy the disc from the PO, and they wanted me to pay the extra.0
