Credit card cash transactions question

I want to pay Car Tax and Gas/Elec with my Barclaycard.
Could anyone tell me if they would be classed as a purchase when it comes to paying interest or a cash transaction.

    Classed as a purchase. I have used the cards myself to pay for utilities. However if you buy car tax there is an additional fee of £2.50.
  • Purchase.

    But beware the charge for car tax and also the loss of direct debit discount on utility bills. It might not be a good idea.
  • Thank you..
