    £206.12 to £221.20 is £15.08 / £6.32 = 2.4 years so 3 full years needed.  Your forecast can not invite you to pay 4 more years.
    So what individual prices are there on those gaps ?

    Where are getting 4 years from when you only have £15.08 to make up?

    £1946 isn't four (or even three) full-priced years, either. Which years are you thinking of paying for, and what do they each cost?

    I think this is saying that the OP has 4 complete tax years left (including 24-25) before SPA.
