excuse me for being thick but when will the budget be??
I have enough trouble with my own budgetting far less the countries so tend not to listen. But my road tax is due up at the end of this month and if I can save some money I will.

Not looking forward to it, I'm already paying £175 for my 2L TD which I think is a joke considering it has the same emissions and power/economy as a 1.4 petrol engine.

I very, very much doubt it mate. It'd be like them saying I've got to cough up the extra from when I paid in January.

Don't forget what nice Mr Brown did on Air Passenger Duty !!!

My husband's car tax is due every march and we always renew prior to the budget - haven't had to pay any extra so far - we pay high tax with our's too - I know everyone seems to be down on 4x4's but when you live in the countryside they can be really essential - our town gets cut off by flooding most years and it's the only way for us to get out of it

I've just bought a new car and will be road taxing it tomorrow, but I've still got a month to go on the other car's tax. Is it actually worthing claiming it back, in fact can you claim it back?

You can claim back for any whole month(s) that are remaining on the disc. There is a form you fill in and send it back with, they send you a cheque a couple of weeks later for the refund amount.
