Pay 12 months and then get a refund will be cheaper than pay 6 months and get a refund.

You can pay by credit card.

And don't forget to either dispose of the car or SORN it before the first day of the following month.

thanks so cheapest up front way is direct debit but requires bank account. 
cheapest overall pay a year on credit card and get 10/11 months refunded later. less up front 6 months credit card and again get the refund???

I do this all the time with my motorcycle, tax it for 12 months paying by monthly direct debit, I try & cancel the DD at least 10 days before the end of the month & then sorn it online on the last day of the month.
I usually tax it for 3-4 months, but it would work the same for 1month.
