Tax Disc

If you were thinking of renewing your tax disk in March 2010, first check that the price is not going down in april! I bought mine early and have paid an extra £30, ripped of by Gordon once more!:(

mines due then but waiting until I get paid on the 26th to buy it, hoping I'll get a nice surprise and get it cheaper, not holding out much hope though!

What have you bought, a monocycle?, if not he will tax you on both wheels next year, or then again, maybe not;)

First check dvla website, some are going up on the 1st April!

Wonder if there's a way round this...could you not declare the car as SORN, get a refund on the tax, then retax it in april?
Something like that...

Mine's going up from £190 per year to £205 per year. Luckily tax due at end of this month so will be able to put off the increase for a while.

I managed to do that a couple of years back, taxed the car the night of the budget before they had a chance to increase it.
I paid the old price thats on the paperwork but you can get charged more if the price goes up in the meantime.

I just renewed the tax on mine a couple of days ago and saved myself £30 looking at the price increases at the DVLA website.

"What about already registered cars?
From April 2010, already registered higher emitting cars will be charged up to £30 more and lower emitting cars will be charged up to £30 less"
