Looks like the post office doesn't do it for the following day.

Mum was in the area (local one doesn't do car tax) so picked it up. It was dated for September - so a whole months worth of tax paid just for about 3 hours worth of driving.

Great.

If it expires September 2014, that is 12 months (ie. from 1st 0ctober 2013 to 30 September 2014). A licence taken out from September 2013 will expire in August 2014.

It says 30/09/14 As it probably would've done if the tax had been bought on 01/09/13 or 15/09/13 or 30/09/13. If they'd have done as was suggested here, then surely the tax would've read 31/10/14 which would've been the same had the tax been bought yesterday - 01/10/13?

The end of October is 13 months away.

I already said my tax disc for a newly acquired car was also bought on 30 Sept and ends on 30 Sept.

How can that not be a year? I can't think of an easier way of removing this temporary confusion. What happens with your birthday or any other anniversary - same month each year. They are exactly a year apart, and any period that includes the same date(s) twice is longer than a year.

Everything is absolutely correct and just as it should be.

Reminds me of Shakespeare's As you like it & Much ado about nothing.

End of thread.

Nothing to see here.

Move along now folks.

Ok, there's a difference between it saying 01/09/14 and 30/09/14. You have not paid for a months tax for 3 hours of driving!
You paid tax to drive it on 30/09/13, and for 1 year, that is twelve months, not 11 months - the tax doesn't run out on 31/08/14. Nor does it run out in 13 months - on 31/10/14, no, it runs out in twelve months, on 30/09/14. You haven't been diddled, conned, or lost out, you're just trying to change the number of months in a year from 12 to 13!
