If I renew my car tax now, when will it start?

Will make sure that mine is tucked in behind the existing one, ready for deployment on the day of requirement.

Knowing my luck, I would find just that type of jobsworthy!

Cant get a new disc unless you have a concurrent one without paying for the month before it starts so pretty irrelevant:p

Have you noticed how much extra they still charge for a 6 month disc - 10% :eek:.
I always pay in full as I can't earn that in interest in any bank account. I see loads of tax disc where people have only paid for 6 months - when interest rates are this low it's just another example of us being ripped off. The only time I paid for a 6 month disc was when I was selling a car and when my OH's car tax dropped from £120 to £90 this year and it was cheaper to pay for 6 months.

Really zilch to do with interest rates - its the admin and processing costs of an extra tax disk/reminder per year.

Plus you get an extra entry per year into the Seat Ibiza prize draw if you buy it online/over the phone!

I know what you mean but the 10% varies from band to band (£4.50 for Band D and £21.75 for Band M). I'm sure it doesn't cost them varying amounts to send out a tax disc/reminder. If it was just for admin I would have thought there would be a straight 'admin' charge of say £10 per disc, just a thought....
